This rom-com debut has the fierce girl energy of the movie Booksmart, blended with the awkwardness of Kelly Quindlen's Late to the Party, topped with a thrilling international meet-cute a la Love and Gelato. Olivia Schwartz has a plan. It's even color-coded. And the plan is this: a perfect SAT score, a prestigious college, and a straight path towards her dream of becoming a doctor. The last thing she wants to do-the summer before her senior year of high school, no less-is go on a cruise. Especially with her parents, younger brothers, and all the unspoken things between them since her older brother's death so many years ago. Then Olivia meets Sebastian. He's everything she's not: charming, exciting, willing to take risks and run with them. For the first time, Olivia feels like she can have But there's a lot bubbling up under the surface on this cruise, and when past secrets begin to come to light, Olivia must face all the truths that she's ignored for so long: about herself, Sebastian, her brother, the past she thought she understood, and the future she's always planned.
