The only problem: Mille’s roommate Flora is a total princess. Everything about Scotland is different: the country is misty and green the school is gorgeous, and the students think Americans are cute. Millie can’t believe her luck when she’s accepted into one of the world’s most exclusive schools, located in the rolling highlands of Scotland. And because Millie cannot stand the thought of confronting her ex every day, she decides to apply for scholarships to boarding schools. Millie Quint is devastated when she discovers that her sort-of-best friend/sort-of-girlfriend has been kissing someone else. ![]() ![]() While her family is falling to pieces, Rose focuses her attention on Dunc, a teenager working at the local corner store. Rose's father leaves the cottage and returns to the city, and her mother becomes more and more withdrawn.

Plus, being at the cottage isn't just about going to the beach anymore. Sure, Rose's dad is still making cheesy and embarrassing jokes, but her mother is acting like she doesn't even want to be there. ![]() But this year is different, and they soon find themselves tangled in teen love and family crisis.

A few minutes later, she came back into the kitchen in her grocery store uniform, her name tag already pinned on like she was proud or something.
