Plot summary

For fifteen-year-old Haven (tall, lanky, bordering on six feet) it is a summer framed by two weddings: her father's to Lorna Queen (the "Weather Pet" of the local TV station, and only five years older than Ashley) and her sister Ashley's to dull-as-dishwater Lewis Warsher, a boy Haven can't imagine plucky Ashley being attracted to. Nothing seems stable except for Haven's memories- especially those of the summer when Ashley dated Sumner Lee, who made her parents laugh and loosened Ashley up. Around Sumner, even Haven felt special. Suddenly Sumner reappears in her life, a link to that perfect past- and her future.
