Chapter 1

Julianne Conners has known Matt and Chris Sturniolo her whole life. They spend every summer together at the Cape Cod house, along with her brother Nick. This year, Julie is no longer a little girl. She's 16 now and is determined not to let anyone treat her like a kid.

Everyone knows Julie has had a crush on Matt forever, but will this be the year those feelings are finally reciprocated? Or will another love interest make itself known?
