Auden decides to spend the summer with her father and new stepmother, Heidi, at the beach. They have just had a new baby, Thisbe, who is very fussy. Auden has always lived with her mother in the world of academia. She only concentrates on her studies, books, learning, classes. She walks into a totally different world of fun, relaxation, biking, babies. She meets Eli, whose best friend was killed. Together they spend their sleepless nights making up for all of the things Auden has missed in her lifetime - food fights, parties, making friends, beer joints, riding bicycles, prom. She gets scared when things get serious with Eli and at the same time, her father and Heidi separate. With the help of her new friends, she gets things back to normal and improves the relationships with both her father and her mother. She gets back with Eli and she, Eli, and her new friend Maggie go off to college in the fall.
