The Sweet Spot

Wren

Summertime…and the living’s easy—at least, that’s what they say.

Me? I should be roadtripping with my best friend, living my best life while I count down the days to my freshman year of college. Instead, I’m broke as a joke and selling ice cream on the Santa Cruz Boardwalk for the millionth year in a row.

Did I mention I also randomly found my dad online? The dad I’ve never met?

But then, one day, the most gorgeous guy I have ever seen shows up on the boardwalk like a oasis in the desert. And I realize that I'm desperately thirsty.

Living two lives is exhausting.

I’d rather just stay in Santa Cruz, going to school and surfing with my friends, but dear old dad keeps dragging me back to Brazil, insisting I learn the family business.

I’ve gone along with it for years, but I’m starting to feel the edges fray. Something’s gotta give.

But then I meet the perfect girl. The girl who gets me, and gives me a real reason to stay.

Sooner or later, I’m going to have to give something up, and when the house of cards that's been built for me finally comes crashing down, she’s the one thing I refuse to lose.
