A secret that forced two two best friends apart ultimately brings them back together over a decade later in this captivating novel by Ali Brady.

When twelve-year-olds Kat Steiner and Blake O'Neill meet at Camp Chickawah, they're confident they'll stay friends forever. But everything falls apart that same summer when they learn that they're not just best friends-they're also half-sisters. Confused and betrayed, their friendship crumbles instantly.



Fifteen years later, Kat and Blake are nothing more than strangers. They share the same father, but not much else. Elegant, extroverted Kat, now a successful Instagram influencer, came of age between her country club, her exclusive private school, and her family's beautiful home in opulent Buckhead, Atlanta. Meanwhile, introverted Blake grew up with middle class grandparents in small-town Minnesota and now works as a nanny for a wealthy family.



When their father dies from a sudden heart attack, they discover he's left them the family beach house…jointly. The two women find themselves abruptly thrown together after years of estrangement to renovate the old, dilapidated house. Kat and Blake don't know how they could've been best friends in the first place-they can't seem to agree on anything-but just as they slowly restore their beach house together, they chip away at the hurt and betrayal to recover the sisterhood they once had.
