Official synopsis Publisher
A gorgeous debut about family, friendship, first romance, and how to be true to one person you love without betraying another
The Garretts are everything the Reeds are not. Loud, numerous, messy, affectionate. And every day from her rooftop perch, seventeen-year-old Samantha Reed wishes she were one of them . . . until one summer evening, Jase Garrett climbs her trellis and changes everything. As the two fall fiercely in love, Jase’s family embraces Samantha, even as she keeps him a secret from her own. Then, in an instant, her two worlds collide in an unthinkable tragedy that leaves Samantha reeling and wrestling with an impossible decision—one that no one could have seen coming, and that no one but her can make.
A dreamy, enthralling summer read, full of characters who stay with you long after the last page is turned, and that asks, which way do you turn when your heart pulls you in opposite directions?
