Seventeen-year-old Claire Swann has a perfect summer vacation plan: go to Seattle with her best friend Clara to see the snow-capped mountains, visit vintage stores, and stay up all night watching old movies. But with a single order from her mother, she was sent to a summer camp at a university in California - along with Alden, the math genius recognized by the school and her tutor for a year.
Alden spoke little and had a cold face, but would silently fold his coat into a pillow and put it under her head when she fell asleep. Claire thought this was just an "acquaintance who helped her with math" until, on the first day of summer camp, she saw another person at the school gate——
Finn, her brother's college roommate, was also the strange boy she kissed out of control at last year's welcome reception.
One can't escape, the other can't hide. And Paris, who she met after taking the wrong homework in literature class, told her with gentle eyes: You are never alone.
Three boys, three ways of getting closer. Some people guard with silence, some approach with smiles, and some accompany with sympathy. And Claire discovered for the first time this summer: it takes courage to be seen.
Intention: Love is not about being illuminated by someone, but about daring to let yourself shine.
