Description

When fifteen-year-old Colie arrives at the beach for the summer, she's determined to reinvent herself—leaving behind the girl she used to be and discovering who she really wants to become. Working as a waitress at a local restaurant, she navigates the complexities of teenage life while staying with her unconventional Aunt Mira, a woman who embraces her own uniqueness without apology. As Colie forms unexpected friendships and confronts the insecurities that have long defined her, she learns that true transformation isn't about changing your appearance—it's about accepting yourself and finding your place in the world. Sarah Dessen's signature blend of humor, heart, and honest emotion shines through this coming-of-age story about self-discovery, belonging, and the courage it takes to be authentically yourself.
