We'll always have summer.
About
For as long as she can remember, Isabel Belly Conklin has spent every summer at a picturesque beach house in the seaside town of Cousins. It is a place defined by tradition, sun-drenched days, and the enduring bond between two families: the Conklins and the Fishers. For years, Belly has occupied the periphery of the group, patiently waiting to be noticed by the two Fisher brothers, Conrad and Jeremiah, who have been the center of her childhood universe. However, as she arrives at the house for the summer of her sixteenth birthday, the comfortable rhythm of her past begins to shift in unexpected ways. The familiar comforts of the beach house suddenly feel different as the childhood dynamic gives way to the complicated reality of adolescence. As Belly blossoms into young womanhood, she finds herself caught in a whirlwind of burgeoning feelings, long-held secrets, and the growing pains that accompany the transition from girl to woman. The idyllic atmosphere of the coast masks the mounting tensions between the families and the heart-wrenching uncertainties that come with choosing between paths. Over the course of one pivotal, transformative season, the lines between friendship and romance blur, testing loyalties and forcing everyone involved to face the realities of growing up. It is a season marked by the intensity of first love, the stinging lesson of first heartbreak, and the realization that the world she once knew is evolving into something far more intricate and demanding than she ever imagined. This is the summer that changes everything, shaping the girl she was into the person she is meant to become.
