Rebels & Romantics (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798987846988)

Netflix's Outerbanks meets Southern California's skateboarding scene in a YA coming-of-age contemporary romance about carving your own path.

Vista Buscato, once a perfect coastal paradise, now teeters on the edge of a revolution. Skateboards and the badass punks who ride them aren't welcome. Which is exactly why gutsy skateboarder Effie Fox plans to ditch the bougie SoCal town now that high school has ended. But her breakout partner and lifelong crush, Matty, is suddenly lovesick for Celeste-a sweet and mysterious beauty who's everything Effie is not.

It turns out Celeste has a load of secrets and an ever-changing identity. The sooner she's gone, the better. So Effie pulls off the perfect trick to get rid of the girl. But the move feels like a failure, not fearless, when she's no closer to a future with a heartbroken Matty. As their skateboarder friends fight for space in their uptight hometown, new possibilities kickflip Effie's heart in another direction, closer to a certain sexy rebel who believes Vista Buscato is worth fighting for. Effie's torn to pieces wondering what it means to care about someone and if it's braver to stay and fight than it is to split.
