Description

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of All the Bright Places comes a compulsively readable novel about a young woman determined to write her own story--sex, heartbreak, family dramas, and all.

"A coming-of-age story that will make your heart ache." —PopSugar


With high school coming to an end, Claudine Henry is focused on four things: sex, starting college, becoming a famous writer, and... sex. But when her parents announce they're splitting up, her entire world begins to fall apart. The epic road trip she planned with her best friend is cancelled, and she finds herself stuck on a remote island off the coast of Georgia with her mom - an island with no WiFi, no cell service and no friends.

Until she meets the free spirited, mysterious, and beautiful Jeremiah. He infuriates and intrigues her. Their chemistry takes her by surprise, and when Claude decides he should be her first, she tells herself it's just sex. Exactly what she wanted, right? They both know that what they have can't last forever, but maybe the time they have can be enough.

    I’ve definitely read better love stories. I would most definitely watch this if it was a movie but I found myself skipping through parts and just reading dialogue because it just wasn’t that great.

    This book is absolutely breathtaking!!! I’ve never read love like I have in this book, it’s so passionate and raw, you can literally FEEL it. The characters are honest and beautiful each in their own way, as a senior in high school I don’t think I’ve ever related to a book more. It teaches you the beauty of relationships and to live in the now! I’m just so thankful to have read it at such a confusing and stressful point of my life, reminding me to live for me and follow my dreams and love!! I’m in control of me and this book continuously emphasizes that which is beautiful.
  • A low country love story

    This is a modern day love story that sets goals for the future. A realistic slow burning coming of age every girl should read!
