"After Sharkey's best friend commits suicide (or was it an accident?) in front of him, he spends the summer processing his grief on an abandoned beach resort island where his dad is the caretaker"--

Three years ago JC (aka Sharkey) saw his best friend fall off a unfinished Manhattan skyscraper. Suicide, or accident? He's spent the past years withdrawing from his friends, obsessively watching documentaries, and texting his dead friend. This year Sharkey is forced to spend spending the summer processing his grief on an abandoned beach resort island in Canada where his dad is the caretaker. There he meets Kelby, a girl who might help him recover his voice-- and rediscover what it means to love.
