This rom-com debut has the fierce girl energy of the movie Booksmart, blended with the awkwardness of Kelly Quindlen's Late to the Party, topped with a thrilling international meet-cute a la Love and Gelato.
Olivia Schwartz has a plan. It's even color-coded.
And the plan is this: a perfect SAT score, a prestigious college, and a straight path towards her dream of becoming a doctor.
The last thing she wants to do--the summer before her senior year of high school, no less--is go on a cruise. Especially with her parents, younger brothers, and all the unspoken things between them since her older brother's death so many years ago.
Then Olivia meets Sebastian. He's everything she's not: charming, exciting, willing to take risks and run with them. For the first time, Olivia feels like she can have fun...
But there's a lot bubbling up under the surface on this cruise, and when past secrets begin to come to light, Olivia must face all the truths that she's ignored for so long: about herself, Sebastian, her brother, the past she thought understood, and the future she's always planned.
What happens when Olivia's color-coded plans collide with an unpredictable boy and the secrets her family has kept for years?
- Opposites Attract: She's a meticulous planner with a color-coded future. He's a charming risk-taker who pulls her out of her shell.
- Forced Proximity: Stuck on a cruise ship in the middle of the Caribbean, there's nowhere to run from her family, her feelings for Sebastian, or the past she's tried so hard to ignore.
- A Coming-of-Age Story: A heartfelt and witty story about discovering who you are when all your carefully-made plans fall apart.
- Healing from Grief: As Olivia gets closer to the truth about her brother Logan's death, she must confront the grief her family has refused to talk about for years.
