Publisher's Synopsis
The ocean carries everything that it sees: the aftermath of a date gone haywire, an epic noodle debate, countless late-night bonfires, love at first sight. It holds memories, experiences, picturesque sunsets. For Elliana and Nell, it holds answers.
Elliana is a perfectionist. She attends St. Jane's, a private high school on the coast of North Carolina, where straightened hair and ironed uniforms are the norm. Though she has a knack for basketball, she prefers to remain on the sidelines, a habit that-as her best friend often points out-has made its way into her everyday life.
Nell, on the other hand, has just returned home from her sophomore year of college only to be thrust into her responsibilities as the maid of honor in her brother's wedding. She's bent on making sure that everything runs smoothly, though her plans to reunite with an old friend might get in her way.
Elliana often feels nothing, while Nell is certain that she feels far too much. Though they seem like complete opposites, the two of them have one thing in common: they've both come to the ocean in search of the same person, but only one can find her.
