Graduation was supposed to be a relief, but Quinn can't avoid the rumors that plagued her throughout high school-- or the barrage of well-intentioned questions about her college plans. Why does no one understand that it's hard for her to think about the future when her best friend is dead? Spending the summer with her aunt on the Jersey shore may be the fresh start Quinn so desperately needs. And when she meets Malcolm, a musician with his own haunted past, she starts to believe in second chances. -- adapted from back cover.
