Printz Honor author Carolyn Mackler returns with this striking new novel, which chronicles the lives of five teenagers through the thrills, heartbreak, and joy 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 thinks he wants to be more than just a band geek. And beautiful Whitney seems to have it all, until it’s falling apart around her. In the beginning they’re strangers. By the end, they are forever changed in the most unexpected and amazing ways.
In a vein similar to The Breakfast Club, Carolyn Mackler skillfully brings the stories of these five disparate teens, who form surprising relationships, together to create a distinct and cohesive whole.
