Having recently discarded her unsavory image—and the best friend that went with it—Colby Cavendish is looking forward to a long summer of parties, barbecues, and hopefully, spending more time with her crush, Levi Bonham. But her world comes crashing down when her parents send her away to spend the summer in Greece with her crazy aunt Tally.
Stranded on a boring island with no malls, no cell phone reception, and an aunt who talks to her plants, Colby worries that her friends have forgotten all about her. But when she meets Yannis, a Greek local, everything changes. She experiences something deeper, forcing her see herself, and the life she left behind, in a whole new way.
