Printz Honor author Carolyn Mackler returns with this striking new novel that chronicles the lives of five teenagers through the thrills, heartbreaks, and joys of their four years in high school.
Zoe, Jake, Mia, Gregor, and Whitney meet at freshman orientation. At the end of that first day, they make a promise to reunite after graduation. So much can happen in those in-between years…
Zoe feels like she will live forever in her famous mother's shadow. Jake struggles to find the right connections in friendship and in love. Mia keeps trying on new identities, looking for one that actually fits. Gregor thought he wanted to be more than just a band geek. And Whitney seems to have it all, until it's all falling apart around her.
Echoing aspects of John Hughes's The Breakfast Club, Carolyn Mackler skillfully brings the stories of these five disparate teens together to create a distinct and cohesive whole—a novel about how we can all affect one another's lives in the most unexpected and amazing ways.
"Starred Review. Elevated by both the humanity of the characters and the intricate ways that they weave in and out of each other's lives. Characters live, grow, and ultimately come of age in a beautifully constructed world." - Kirkus
"Starred Review. Mackler keeps all five story lines clear, absorbing, and integral to the larger story of friendship, perseverance, and hope." - Publishers Weekly
"No one writes more honestly and empathetically about teenage lives than Carolyn Mackler. She doesn't write teens as adults want them to be; she writes teens as they are." - Gabrielle Zevin, bestselling author of The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry
