Colby Cavendish has finally been invited to join the popular clique. Even though it meant ditching her old best friend for Amanda, the coolest girl in school, she'll get to spend her senior year as a member of the in-crowd she's always envied. Colby even hooked up with her long-time crush Levi, who didn't know she existed until she started hanging out with Amanda.Colby is excited about spending the summer holidays with her new friends, but her world soon comes crashing down. Her parents begin a messy divorce and send her away to spend the summer in Greece with her aunt. And just like that, Colby finds herself living on a remote island and worrying that her new friends have forgotten about her. But when she falls for a cute Greek native, they strike up something deeper and more intense than a summer fling, and Colby's forced to see herself in a new way...and the life she left behind.
