Summary
Every summer, on the 10th of July, they return to the same place by the Black Sea — a month-long world that exists outside of time, where nine children grow up together and everything that matters happens.
Across ten summers, friendships fracture and reform, secrets take root, and first loves leave marks that never quite fade. Gyuvin and Ricky are drawn to each other from the beginning, their love shaped by desire, guilt, mental illness, and the fear of wanting something forbidden. Around them, others orbit: slow-burn longing, quiet grief, reckless escapes, and the fragile safety of a found family that can’t protect everyone forever.
