Since her single mom died in an accident, Izzie has lived with her grandma in the boardwalk town of Harborside. When her grandma's Alzheimer's becomes too severe, Izzie is whisked away to live with distant relatives in high-society Emerald Cove. Her new family includes Mira, a Gossip Girl the same age as Izzie, and they don't exactly hit it off. I read a lot of YA novels that could be ABC Family pilots, but this one takes the cake in both good and bad ways. While I enjoyed it, I found it kind of flat and formulaic.
