For fans of The Summer I Turned Pretty, All the Bright Places, and My Life With the Walter Boys comes a star-crossed story of loss and forgiveness, and the two teens who must decide if love is worth fighting for.
Nick Webber and Kennedy Winters are from two different worlds. She’s a private school Manhattanite with a musical prowess that could rival Beethoven. He’s a public school Jersey boy destined for UCLA on a soccer scholarship. But when Kennedy’s family dies and she’s sent to live with her aunt and uncle in New Jersey, their worlds collide.
They’re drawn to each other immediately. Kennedy—the mysterious new girl—is different from anyone Nick’s ever met. Smart and withdrawn, she makes him want to be different, too. To be better. And Nick—with his goofy smile and penchant for cheesy jokes—shows Kennedy that, even in the face of loss, she’s still allowed to find happiness.
But as the pair grow closer, painful truths surface that threaten to tear them apart. With love on the line, Kennedy and Nick must decide if happiness is worth the heartache.
