There are seven random strangers staying in a house together. Can’t be a simple, non-scandalous book, right? Not so
much.
Curt wants a job for his band, and his girlfriend, Avery, wants to spend more time with her boyfriend.
Polly wants to get a life, or at least a boyfriend.
Owen is just a guy hanging out.
Lucas is a surfer dude who just wants to catch a good wave.
Sabina is an ex-spoiled princess who is used to having a disposable income and not having to have a job. Her parents put
her in the house to gain some independence.
April is a girl who has had to work for everything that she has and is trying to take a break from taking care of her mom
and grandma.
This book sounds scandalous and crazy, but it’s really just a fun book with a little bit of flirting.
