YA
Told from six teens' individual perspectives, this interconnected story about one summer in a Maine coastal town is filled with romantic misunderstandings, longing, and anxiety about the future. Beautiful, confused Anabelle connects all the characters, and her pending departure for college fuels their worries and pining. Though heavy on the melodrama, Frank's story captures the fear and excitement of change.
