    • Urlaub in der Karibik - das klingt paradiesisch. Doch für Jena, Skye, Dakota und Owen ist es eher die Hölle. Jena mag nicht schwimmen gehen, weil man sie dann im Badeanzug sieht. Skye muss selbst im Urlaub ständig an ihre Schauspielkarriere denken, dabei ist sie eigentlich nur noch müde. Dakota würde am liebsten vergessen, dass er eine Freundin hatte, und benimmt sich wie ein Arsch. Und Owen wäre genauso gern zu Hause geblieben, denn wo er am Computer sitzt ist ihm eigentlich egal. Aber dann badet Jena mit Dakota, Skye schreibt einen Brief, Dakota flirtet mit Skye und Jena entdeckt Owens Rücken. Und das ist erst der Anfang.

      Mom and I have been talking a lot these past few weeks... Dad's voice trailed off. And we've decided to get a trial separation. Sammie Davis never expected sweet sixteen to be perfect. But then she didn't expect her parents to separate either, or to have to leave her cosy life in suburbia for a tiny apartment in New York City. She begins a hot and humid summer struggling with feelings of resentment, anger... and lust for the Johnny Depp look-alike in her apartment block. As the vacation rolls on, she makes friends and breaks friends, finds new depths to the word love, and comes to understand that with it come other four-letter words. Like hate; loss; gain. But most important of all, grow.
