Four girls. One summer. And a pact to do the impossible.

SKYLER, ELLIE, SCARLETT, AND AMELIA GRACE are forced to spend the summer at the lake house where their moms became best friends.

One can’t wait.

One would rather gnaw off her own arm than hang out with a bunch of strangers just so their moms can drink too much wine and sing Journey at two o’clock in the morning.

Two are sisters.

Three are currently feuding with their mothers.

One is hiding how bad her joint pain has gotten.

All of them are hiding something.

One falls in love with a boy she thought she despised.

One almost sets her crush on fire with a flaming marshmallow.

One has a crush that could change everything.

None of them are the same at the end of the summer.

“This was the summer firefly of a story I desperately wanted. I loved the unfolding relationships and heart-thumping romances in this delicious ode to female friendship. You’ll want to sit on a porch by the lake and read the pages slowly in an attempt to savor each girl’s journey. Intergenerational friendships, a few misunderstandings, even a secret society hidden in a tiny cabin loft—it’s everything you need for a soul-satisfying read that will make you smile long after you’ve turned the final page.”—JAYE ROBIN BROWN, author of Georgia Peaches and Other Forbidden Fruit and The Meaning of Birds
