Description
From the author of Since You've Been Gone and The Unexpected Everything comes a dreamy story of summer romance and finding yourself, perfect for fans of Jenny Han and Sarah DessenCharlie Grant tries to keep her life as normal as possible. Hanging out with her best friend, pining for Jesse Foster - who sheโs loved since she was twelve - and generally flying under the radar as much as she can.
But sometimes normal is just another word for stuck, and this weekend that's all going to change. Not only will everyone be back home for her sisterโs wedding, but sheโs also juggling:
- a rented dog that just won't stop howling
- an unexpectedly hot wedding-coordinatorโs nephew
- her favourite brother bringing home his HORRIBLE new girlfriend
- fear that her parentsโ marriage is falling apart
- and the return to town of the boy sheโs loved practically all her lifeโฆ
Over the course of four days Charlie will learn there's so much more to each member of her family than she imagined, even herself, and that maybe letting go of the things she's been holding on tightest to can help her find what really keeps them together.
