After moving to the same town as her online friend (and crush) "Alex," Bailey puts off meeting him IRL. An artful dodger at heart, Bailey is scared to meet Alex and also developing feelings for her work nemesis, the super hot surfer Porter. Bailey, struggling from a past trauma that causes her to avoid all conflict, finds herself falling in love and finding her true, better self as the summer progresses.

A wonderful kissing book from Jenn Bennett, a perfect summer read! From the beaches of California, the silly tourist trap summer job, and the hot kiss of first love. I want to smoosh this book to my chest and squee.

Spoiler

The book gets pretty steamy, and the two main characters have sex which is described in an appopriate for YA way. That said, Bennett includes a TERRIFIC bit (twice) about how Bailey knows how to masturbate to orgasm despite her "sexual inexperience" which is awesome.
