About this book

They've all grown up together on a tiny island. They think they know everything about one another . . . but they're only just beginning to find out the truth.

Lucas can hardly remember a time when he felt any other way about Zoey. She means everything to him, and yet it's as if they're being pulled apart, slowly but surely. Is he about to lose the best thing that ever happened to him -- or can Lucas hold on to love?
