Eighteen-year-old Calypso Alvarado has never left Catalina Island. Her world is a crumbling cliffside inn, a father who’s more prison guard than parent, and a curse she believes she’s doomed to repeat: every summer brings a boy, a spark—and then a goodbye. Until the summer everything changes. A shipwreck. A storm. A boy washed ashore.

Love is honorable but selfish. Love is a record of my wrongs. Love had fractured in trials but held on for the truth. And the truth was he'd hurt me, yet I loved him. He'd left me, yet I followed him. But I was done with Leo Baudin. And as soon as the semester was over, I would be done with Paris. But until then, I would learn the rest of his secrets. The ones they whispered about behind his back. The ones that had the entire city watching his every move. The ones that held him hostage.

Love is angry. Love is blind. Love is envious and loathful. And I loathed Leo Baudin. My new art professor. My enemy. I didn't move to Rhode Island for this. I came to forget the Troian Milanovic I'd left behind and start fresh where the damage and betrayal couldn't follow. But Professor Baudin wouldn't let me.

We all wear masks in our everyday lives. We wear them so that others see only what we want them to see. We get so used to having them on that we begin to believe that the masks we wear are the real us. When our mind begins to believe the mask we wear is the real us, the real harm starts. We begin to lose our real selves. When enough of our real self disappears, it is hard for us to understand what is really happening and we fall into a state of existence that is, perhaps, not what we wanted at all.
