Ellis Murphy has loved Levi Winchester for most of their fifteen-year friendship. She’s gone hundreds of miles away for college, dated other people, and desperately tried to ignore her feelings for him all these years. Levi has always been the playful, harmless flirter but Ellis' steadfast rock of a friend. Between camping with their best friends, the countless summer nights by the pool, and sitting under fireworks, things seem to be shifting. When Levi thinks there’s someone waiting for Ellis back at college, he isn’t sure how he feels about that—so he settles in for another summer just like the rest. They’ve both resolved themselves to just being friends—without the other even knowing. But the fireworks seem to be larger than ever this summer—and not the ones put on by her family’s fourth of July show. Is Ellis reading too much into it? Or does Levi really see her as more than a friend? After all, how could they be anything more after being friends for so long?
