Grieving her father's death, Charlotte McConnell seeks solace at the Outer Banks inn owned by her best friend's family, but she finds them dealing with their own family drama and soon lands in the center of an unexpected love triangle.

Her hotel family welcomes Charlotte with chowder dinners and a cozy room, but her friend Evie has a looming life change of her own, and soon Charlotte seeks other attractions to navigate her grief. Will she, like in some television movie, find her way back through a romance, or are there larger forces at play on Hatteras Island? Heather Frese, winner of the Lee Smith Novel Prize and author of The Baddest Girl on the Planet, sets Charlotte on a beautifully rendered course through human frailty and longing, unrelenting science, and the awesome forces of the Carolina coast.

      With the ocean lapping at her feet, Charlotte McConnell knows she shouldn't be here--here being the Pamlico Inn at the Outer Banks, North Carolina. Charlotte should be at school, starting her second semester of college. It's what her dad had asked of her--but her dad is dead. Like the ocean in front of her, Charlotte's grief is a swirling force of waves that threaten to pull her under, and the Pamlico Inn is where she has found some footing. During her stay, Charlotte helps her best friend Evie through a life-changing moment and finds connection with a guy she should and with a guy she shouldn't. All throughout is the undercurrent of her grief. And while Charlotte takes some drastic measures to feel something, the ocean reminds her of the electricity of being alive. Frese's sophomore novel (after The Baddest Girl on the Planet, 2021) is a metaphor-rich, coming-of-age, contemporary novel about finding your equilibrium while experiencing overwhelming grief. Fans will also enjoy the reappearance of a familiar character from Frese's debut.
