The Girl on the Blue Scooter

A Novel

About

In the quiet coastal town of South Port, April Key has always known exactly where she belongs. With her blue scooter, a job at the local ice cream shop, and the people she has loved her whole life, she has never needed much more—until graduation brings a future she isn't sure she's brave enough to choose.

Chad Matthews has spent his entire life being told exactly who he's supposed to become. As South Port's star quarterback, everyone seems to have a plan for his future, but behind the cheers and expectations, a young man quietly wonders what he really wants.

When a broken scooter brings April and Chad together, two people who barely noticed each other in four years of high school begin discovering a connection neither expected. As summer unfolds along the beaches, boardwalks, and familiar streets of South Port, they face first love, uncertain futures, and the courage to choose a life that feels truly their own.
