Bookroo's summary

Harbor Moore faces a summer of choices: perfecting her basketball skills near her dad's house or staying at Sunrise Lagoon with her family. As she bonds with Quinn, a teammate with a captivating smile, Harbor's heart is pulled in two directions. Meanwhile, back home, her siblings' antics and friendships shift, leaving her feeling out of place. When the season ends, Harbor must decide where her true home lies. Will she follow her heart to the court or return to the lagoon she loves? The decision could change everything.

From the publisher

If you want to get to know Harbor Moore, you need to know three things: 1. Sometimes she signs her name Harbor Ali-O’Connor to match her siblings. 2. She misses her dad a lot, but she doesn’t want to be away from her moms and siblings, either. 3. She just might have her first crush. Harbor is excited to spend the summer working on her jump shot in an elite basketball league. But the games take place near her dad’s house–hours away from her beloved Sunrise Lagoon. Suddenly, she’s spending every weekend at her dad’s and getting to know Quinn, a girl whose smile makes her feel warm inside. Still, Harbor can’t help wondering what’s going on at home. Why is Sam hanging out with Harbor’s best friend? Has Marina’s friend Boom taken her place in the house? What have the twins “borrowed” this time for one of their disastrous scientific experiments? When it comes time to decide whether Harbor will stay and play basketball with her team–and Quinn–all year round, or continue to live on Sunrise Lagoon, Harbor thinks she knows what to do . . . but is it the right decision?
