    It started on Wattpad but now is EVERYWHERE! with a bestselling book by WWBG, a captivating Webcomic on Webtoon, and an upcoming film adaptation by Wattpad WEBTOON studios. Read, scroll, or watch - there's an experience for everyone to dive into Waverly and Blake's journey. 
        Stay tuned for film release updates.
                                                                                                      ----
        In order to fit in during her summer visit to a beachside town, Waverly must take swimming lessons from Blake, the moody (but gorgeous) lifeguard next door.
        
                                                                              *****
         
        Seventeen-year-old Waverly Lyons is from Alaska. She doesn't do sun. But after her divorced parents can't agree on who gets to have her for the summer, Waverly gets shipped off to Holden, Florida, to spend a couple months with her aunt, Rachel. There's one minor hiccup: Blake Hamilton, Rachel's seventeen-year-old neighbor. He's athletic, outgoing, arrogant, tan, and pretty much Waverly's exact opposite. She's eager to avoid him at all costs, hoping to fit in with the other kids in Holden without drawing too much attention to herself. But when Blake discovers that Waverly has been hiding the rather embarrassing secret that she can't swim, he does the unthinkable: He offers to teach her.
