But this year is different, and they soon find themselves tangled in teen love and family crisis. From the creators of \u003cem\u003eSkim\u003c\/em\u003e comes an investigation into the mysterious world of adults.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSure, Rose’s dad is still making cheesy and embarrassing jokes, but her mother is acting like she doesn’t even want to be there. Plus, being at the cottage isn’t just about going to the beach anymore. Now Rose and Windy are spending a lot of their time renting scary movies and spying on the teenagers who work at the corner store, as well as learning stuff about sex no one mentioned in health class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePretty soon everything is messed up. Rose’s father leaves the cottage and returns to the city, and her mother becomes more and more withdrawn. While her family is falling to pieces, Rose focuses her attention on Dunc, a teenager working at the local corner store. When Jenny, Dunc’s girlfriend, claims to be pregnant, the girls realize that the teenagers are keeping just as many secrets as the adults in their lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo one seems to want to talk about the things that matter.
