Dear Reader,
It's been so long since Auden slept at night. Ever since her
parents' divorce-or since the fighting started. Now she has the chance
to spend a carefree summer with her dad and his new family in the
charming beach town where they live.
A job in a clothes boutique introduces Auden to the world of girls:
their talk, their friendship, their crushes. She missed out on all that,
too busy being the perfect daughter to her demanding mother. Then she
meets Eli, an intriguing loner and a fellow insomniac who becomes her
guide to the nocturnal world of the town. Together they embark on
parallel quests: for Auden, to experience the carefree teenage life
she's been denied; for Eli, to come to terms with the guilt he feels for
the death of a friend.
In her signature pitch-perfect style, Sarah Dessen explores the
hearts of two lonely people learning to connect.
