Now, Julie has no idea how this summer is going to go—especially since she’s unexpectedly feeling flutters around a new friend, Liam…and she thinks he might like her, too.

Can Julie figure out how she feels about James and Liam? Or will having Sophia around ruin everything?

Young People's Pavilion @youngbooks.bsky.social · May 2

Honestly, Julie’s not even sure she would call Sophia a friend, but one thing is for sure: having to play nice with Sophia who is always hanging around was not on the agenda.

At least that was the plan until Julie’s parents decided to surprise her by inviting a friend to their beach house for the next three weeks.
