Pearl was ready for a worldwide stage. Instead, she needs to stage a comeback. Seventeen-year-old music prodigy Pearl Wong had the summer of her dreams planned--until a fall from grace leaves her in need of new plans... and a new image. Where better to revamp her "brand" than at Chien Tan, the Taipei summer program for elite students that rocketed her older sister, Ever, on a path to romance and self-fulfillment years ago. But as the alumni know, Chien Tan is actually Loveboat--the extravagant world where prodigies party till dawn--and there's more awaiting Pearl there than she could have ever imagined, like a scandalous party in the dark, a romantic entanglement with a mysterious suitor... and a summer that will change her forever.
