One summer can change everything.
Seventeen-year-old Mira is ready to leave her coastal hometown behind. With her mother's bookshop struggling and her future uncertain, she's focused on one thing: earning a place at an arts program far from home.
Then Eli comes back.
Mira and Eli were once inseparable, until one painful misunderstanding turned their friendship into silence. Now Eli is helping his grandfather restore the old pier-the same pier where their childhood summers began. When Mira takes a job photographing its history, the two are forced to work side by side.
Between faded photographs, salty air, and evenings painted gold, old feelings begin to return. But summer won't last forever, and neither of them knows where the future will lead. As the pier's fate hangs in the balance, Mira must decide what she's willing to leave behind-and what might be worth holding on to.
When the World Turned Gold is a heartfelt YA coastal romance about first love, forgiveness, growing up, and finding your way home.
