The Summer I Turned Pretty meets Circe in this windswept, emotional retelling of The Odyssey. A stunning story of first love, ancient echoes, and the power of rewriting your own fate.
Callie Quinn has never left Catalina Island. Her world is a crumbling cliffside inn, a father whos more prison guard than parent, and a curse she believes shes doomed to repeat: every summer brings a boy, a spark—and then a goodbye. Until one summer everything changes.
A storm. A shipwreck. A boy washed ashore.
Odie is secretive, wounded, and desperate to disappear. Callie offers him shelter, a place to heal, and slowly, something more. But Odie is no ordinary castaway. He carries secrets that could destroy them both. On Catalina, Callie shows him another way to live. A life of freedom and belonging. An everlasting life where he could be anyone—even himself.
But when Odies world crashes back into their paradise, both Odysseus and Calypso must make impossible choices: one between legacy and love. The other, between holding on and setting herself free.
Inspired by the tale of Odysseus and Calypso from Homers The Odyssey, this fresh retelling gives star-crossed lovers a chance to defy fate. Full of longing, first love, and impossible choices, its a story where, at last, they find their happily ever after.
A star-crossed, slow-burn summer romance. A contemporary reimagining with mythological roots. A girl who learns that sometimes, the most epic love story is the one you write for yourself.
