Claire Martin has some serious body issues.
​
Not much happens in Claire Martin’s sleepy little beach town, but that’s okay. Let her hang out with her best friend, dream about her favorite lifeguard, and swim on the high school team, and she’ll be happy.
Only one little problem: Whenever Claire she gets too close to lightning, her spirit shoots into another girl’s body. Usually she’s back to her old self in no time—but suddenly she finds herself stuck as someone else: a breathtaking summer visitor who has caught her crush’s eye.
​
Will Claire ever figure out how to get back to her old life? And, more importantly, will she want to?
