Seventeen-year-old Essie is looking forward to her summer holidays. It means weeks of dedicating herself to her sewing business while her parents are busy working.  Sure her jerk of a brother is home from university, but he's mostly working too.  She can be herself - whoever she wants to be, without expectation and judgement or always being told that she is over dramatic.  Until Jackon Sherwood, her brother's childhood friend, comes to stay.
