Abby, as desperate as ever to find a way off the island and into a "real life," heads to UNC-Wilmington on a tennis scholarship with best friend Jules, twin brother Ford, and wily Alex Walker, who hasn't spoken to her since last summer's disastrous almost-drowning incident. At school, she makes friends with a girl on the tennis team, Amy short for Amazing, who is just like Abby, but disapproves of Jules’ influence. Abby avoids Jules until Jules gets into some serious trouble with a boy who is mean to her, and Alex berates her for abandoning her friend. Abby takes a good look at Amy and realizes that some of the things that Abby liked most about her – her introspection, her aversion to change, her insular attitude, are things that Abby is trying to overcome in her own personality. With some help from Alex, Cleo, Charlie, and Ford, Abby gets Jules out of the bad relationship and fixes the one between the two of them.
