Summer after summer, the two of you grew closer, creating memories that felt like they’d last forever. Until one mistake changed everything. Now, after years away, you’re returning to Barry’s Bay for the first time in a decade. The lake hasn’t changed. Neither has the memories waiting for you. Before you left. You had feelings for a boy, Sam Florek. But because of you moving, you assume him and his older brother, Charlie. hates you. But now back in town for their mom’s memorial… you have to face both of them.

She brings warmth, humor, and perspective to every situation, reminding the people she loves that they never have to face life’s challenges alone.
Confident, charming, and easy to talk to, Delilah has a magnetic personality that naturally draws people in. Friendly and adventurous, she’s someone who enjoys making the most of every summer while encouraging others to do the same.
