Rock the Boat by Beck Dorey-Stein
" A witty, heartfelt debut novel about a belated coming-of-age."-The New York Times Book Review (Editors' Choice)Old friends discover how much has changed (and how much has stayed the same) when they reunite in their seaside hometown for one unforgettable summer-from the New York Times bestselling author of From the Corner of the Oval
When Kate Campbell's life in Manhattan suddenly implodes, she is forced to return to Sea Point, the small town full of quirky locals, quaint bungalows, and beautiful beaches where she grew up. She knows she won't be home for long; she's got every intention (and a three-point plan) to win back everything she thinks she's lost.
Meanwhile, Miles Hoffman-aka "The Prince of Sea Point"-has also returned home to prove to his mother that he's capable of taking over the family business, and he's promised to help his childhood best friend, Ziggy Miller, with his own financial struggles at the same time. Kate, Miles, and Ziggy converge in Sea Point as the town faces an identity crisis when a local developer tries to cash in on its potential. The summer swells, and white lies and long-buried secrets prove as corrosive as the salt air, threatening to forever erode not only the bonds between the three friends but also the landscape of the beachside community they call home.
Full of heart and humor-and laced with biting wit-Rock the Boat proves that even when you know all the back roads, there aren't any shortcuts to growing up.
