YA
Gwen is ready to leave Seashell Island (and her sordid reputation) behind--until the arrival of Cass Somers, son of a wealthy boat builder, who has a summer job on the island mowing lawns. The beach setting and the quirky, flawed, and authentic residents come to life in this smart love story that's meant to be savored like a lazy summer afternoon.
