Drink the Wild Air

Summary

A contemporary coming-of-age story about the magic that can happen when two souls collide under the summer sun.

For years, the Weston family has spent their summers at their vacation home in Old Saybrook, Connecticut. It's a beloved tradition for seventeen-year-old Finley. He anticipates long, lazy days by the ocean, the same familiar faces, and the ever-present shadow of his Old Money family's expectations. But this year, Finley's plans are turned upside down when he meets Dawson, a brooding and confident young man who brings an air of mystery and the unexpected.

Dawson is everything Finley is not—bold, adventurous, and unapologetically himself. Drawn together by chance, Finley and Dawson embark on a journey of self-discovery and unexpected romance. As their bond deepens, Dawson encourages Finley to accept the realities of life. By the end of summer, Finley's perceptions about himself and his family will change, redefining his understanding about everything.
