    Summary

    Six years after Arcadia Bay was lost to the storm, Max Caulfield is piecing her life back together. She’s found solace in Amanda, whose love feels steady and safe, offering Max a chance to finally breathe. But when Chloe Price resurfaces just days after a catastrophic storm strikes Max’s campus, the calm Max has built begins to splinter.

    Chloe—cool, magnetic, and haunted by the ghosts of their shared past—pulls Max into a whirlwind of old wounds and unresolved feelings. Together, they navigate the jagged terrain of love, loss, and guilt, where every step threatens to reopen scars long thought healed.

    Max thought she’d moved on, but love is never simple, and some storms never truly pass. As past and present collide, Max faces a deeper storm within herself. Has she truly grown beyond the girl who sacrificed everything? Or is she still searching, not for closure, but for who she’s meant to become? And when love and loss demand answers, will she have the strength to weather what comes next?*
