“A first love. A small town. One unforgettable summer.”

Natalie never planned to come back to Lovettsville. It’s the kind of Southern town that feels like it hasn’t changed in decades—where the same families fill the pews every Sunday, and the local diner is still the best (and only) place to hang out. But after time away, she finds herself back home, hoping to coast through the summer without much fanfare.

That changes the night of a high school party by the pond.

It’s there she meets Hannah—quiet, funny, guarded. Their connection is instant and electric, the kind of thing you can’t quite explain. They don’t exchange numbers, but a few days later, they cross paths again—and this time, they don’t let go.

As their relationship grows, Natalie begins to come into herself, opening up to her family and embracing her identity. But for Hannah, things are more complicated. Raised in a deeply religious, conservative household, she’s never allowed herself to imagine this kind of life—let alone live it.

Their love story is quiet, tender, and complicated. It’s about falling in love, but it’s also about learning what it means to belong—to each other, to your town, to your own sense of self.
