Forced to move across the country for her mom's new job, Julia Anderson hates everything about her new home in Campbell River - until she meets Cody Romano, a cute and charming guy who soon becomes a friend, then something more. But just when things are finally looking up, Jules and Cody realize their families are on opposite sides of an environmental issue that's dividing their small coastal community in half, stirring up strife, spite, and even sabotage.

Hiding secret dates from gossiping neighbors and their parents, Jules and Cody must risk it all to be together, lest their relationship end before they can find out how far it can go.

Two households, both alike in dignity. In Campbell River, where we lay our scene.

Reviews
"A new young adult book is sure to show that a rose by any other name does smell as sweet." * Guelph Mercury Tribune *
"Readers looking for a feel-good version of Romeo and Juliet - with a little bit of danger and suspense related to the legal battle and an anonymous donor's support of the Eco-Guardians - will enjoy Cody and Julia's journey. While the story follows familiar genre beats, it still contains enough surprises to sustain readers' interest." * Kirkus Reviews *
