For what seems a hundred summers, Jackie has spent the drowsy hours at the family farm stand, fl irting, a bit too much, with her cousin, Marcus, but never really wondering where that friendship will lead. Th en, suddenly, a plague of troubling incidents descends on Jackie’s life: her best friend, Ellie, disappears, and the police suspect foul play, and, just when she needs him most, Marcus falls for the E

new girl in town—forcing Jackie to give a name to what she feels for him. As she waits for the dark mystery around Ellie to break, Jackie realizes she has fallen in love, at an impossible time, with an F

impossible boy. But how can she let Marcus, and Ellie, go?
