博客來Elliot ＂Eli＂ Wesley and Lana Clarke couldn’t be more different. In high school, they existed in separate worlds-Eli, the charming guy with a solid relationship, and Lana, the quiet mystery that no one really knew. But high school is over, and life has taken unexpected turns.
A year after graduation, Eli finds himself blindsided when his girlfriend, Haley, suddenly dumps him. The shock is bad enough, but the sting deepens when he discovers the reason-Haley has moved on with none other than Landon, the effortlessly cool and confident lifeguard at Santa Monica Beach. And as fate would have it, Landon is also Lana Clarke’s older brother.
Heartbroken and desperate to win Haley back, Eli hatches a reckless plan: get close to Lana. If he can make her jealous, maybe, just maybe, Haley will regret leaving him. What starts as a simple revenge scheme quickly spirals into something neither of them saw coming.
Lana isn’t just the quiet girl Eli once overlooked-she’s a force of her own, carrying secrets, dreams, and a world he never expected to be drawn into. The more time they spend together, the more Eli starts to question everything-his plan, his feelings, and even the idea of who he thought he was.
Because sometimes, the people we never paid attention to are the ones who change us the most.
A story of unexpected connections, second chances, and love in the most unlikely places, this novel will have you questioning whether the heart truly follows a plan-or if it’s meant to find its own way.
