A cute romance about a perfection freak who can't date for long because love is messy.
Kaylee's just broken up with Dean, but their families refuse to cancel the joint yearly vacation. Now Kaylee's stuck spending time in the same house as him! Not even the beautiful California ocean can be enough to make that bearable when it's clear Dean's still hurting. Kaylee's a take-charge personality, so she decides the perfect solution is giving Dean her lessons on how to get over a break-up. But spending time together makes her tap back into her messy, messy emotions.
Dean's a super-sweet, nerdy guy who somehow is the perfect foil to competitive, driven, athletic Kaylee. He's the yin to her yang. There's a side plot about the mothers' different choices in life - going pro in volleyball vs. not - and it reflects on how Kaylee and Dean treat their life passions. It takes Kaylee a long, long time to figure out what she really wants when it comes to Dean, but it's worth watching her get there.
A perfect summer beach read.
