Publisher’s Synopsis (From its website)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Jay Wong is spending the last languid days of summer 2010 trying to land a kickflip and begging for something (anything!) to make her senior year different\u2014to finally give her some stories worth telling. When she meets Ash Chan, it seems like she\u2019s getting what she asked for. Ash is confident, intensely independent, and hell on a skateboard\u2014nothing like anyone Jay knows and exactly how she wishes she could be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Offering to film Ash\u2019s submission to an upcoming skate contest introduces Jay to a side of Vancouver she\u2019s never seen and gives her the chance to push back against the expectations placed on her. But Ash has a secret, and Jay is increasingly desperate to figure it out. As things between them ride the fine line between friendship and something more, Jay has to decide just how much Ash will impact all the choices she still has to make about where she\u2019s going and who she wants to become.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
