[SEQUEL TO COASTING]
When Jamie Prescott returns to the small beach town to live with her Aunt Monica the summer after her freshmen year at college, she's not quite sure what to expect.

With her family finally doing well back in California, going back to the North Carolina coast, her home away from home and a place that helped her find herself when everything around her was falling apart, seemed the obvious choice for how to spend her vacation.

But now that a year has passed, things have changed, and there is a chance that with everything around her finally going right, the beach town that had once been her saving grace may now be the one thing that's going wrong.All Rights Reserved

It started on Wattpad but now is EVERYWHERE! With a bestselling book by WWBG, a captivating Webcomic on Webtoon, and a film adaptation by Wattpad WEBTOON studios, you can read, scroll, or watch - there's an experience for everyone to dive into Waverly and Blake's journey. ***** In order to fit in during her summer visit to a beachside town, Waverly must take swimming lessons from Blake, the moody (but gorgeous) lifeguard next door. ***** Seventeen-year-old Waverly Lyons is from Alaska. She doesn't do sun. But after her divorced parents can't agree on who gets to have her for the summer, Waverly gets shipped off to Holden, Florida, to spend a couple months with her aunt, Rachel. There's one minor hiccup: Blake Hamilton, Rachel's seventeen-year-old neighbor. He's athletic, outgoing, arrogant, tan, and pretty much Waverly's exact opposite. She's eager to avoid him at all costs, hoping to fit in with the other kids in Holden without drawing too much attention to herself. But when Blake discovers that Waverly has been hiding the rather embarrassing secret that she can't swim, he does the unthinkable: He offers to teach her. [[word count: 100,000-150,000 words]]
