Netflix's Outerbanks meets Southern California’s skateboarding scene in a YA contemporary romance about love, hope, and carving your path.

Vista Buscato has palm trees, but that doesn’t mean it’s paradise.

Skateboards and the punks who ride them aren’t welcome. Gutsy eighteen-year-old Effie Fox dreams of packing up her skateboard and busting out of uptight Vista Buscato after high school with her breakout partner and lifelong crush, Matty. But suddenly Matty’s flooded with thoughts of Celeste, a sweet and mysterious beauty who’s everything Effie is not.

It turns out Celeste is far from perfect, with a load of secrets and an ever-changing identity. Soon, Effie pulls off a simple, well-timed trick to get rid of the girl forever. But Matty’s heart crumbles way worse than she expected. As their friends ignite a revolution fighting for space in a town where they don’t fit in, new possibilities spin Effie in a different direction, away from Matty. She’s torn to pieces wondering what it means to really care about someone or something, and if it’s braver to stay and fight or just split.

Jeanmarie Anaya writes contemporary romance novels about teens and twenty-somethings. She loves food, wine, the beach, and preferably all three of those things at the same time. She grew up in a small beach town, which means she owns more flip flops than actual shoes. After many years drafting contracts as a lawyer, she finally followed her heart and her keyboard down the path of novel-writing.

Jeanmarie’s stories are full of romance, falling in love, longing, love triangles,

heartbreak, tons of (mostly unnecessary) drama, and the beautiful ache of first

love.

She lives in New York with her husband and three daughters.
