Publisher's Synopsis
Cautious and introverted, seventeen-year-old Dove spends most of her free time pursuing her one true passion: painting. The twinkling lights of Balboa Island, the ferryboat to the peninsula, the fire pits on Big Corona Beach... these have long been the subjects of her canvases as she daydreams about finding an Audrey Hepburn-film kind of romance. A hotshot jock is exactly not the type of guy she's been looking for-but when Leo Donovan drops his cool act to show his vulnerable side, Dove begins to question everything. But first she'll have to navigate her way through claim-staking mean girls and disapproving parents-and still keep her focus on attending the art school of her dreams. Being in love turns out to be more complex than the average silver-screen classic. Can Dove follow her heart (and Audrey's cues) to create her own perfect Hollywood ending?
