The #1 Wall Street Journal bestseller that People Magazine calls
"a poignant, addictive read."
From #1 New York Times bestselling author of It Ends with Us
comes a novel about family, first love, grief, and betrayal that will
touch the hearts of both mothers and daughters.
Morgan Grant and her sixteen-year-old daughter, Clara, would like
nothing more than to be nothing alike.
Morgan is determined to prevent her daughter from making the same
mistakes she did. By getting pregnant and married way too young, Morgan
put her own dreams on hold. Clara doesn't want to follow in her mother's
footsteps. Her predictable mother doesn't have a spontaneous bone in her
body.
With warring personalities and conflicting goals, Morgan and Clara find
it increasingly difficult to coexist. The only person who can bring
peace to the household is Chris--Morgan's husband, Clara's father, and
the family anchor. But that peace is shattered when Chris is involved in
a tragic and questionable accident. The heartbreaking and long-lasting
consequences will reach far beyond just Morgan and Clara.
While struggling to rebuild everything that crashed around them, Morgan
finds comfort in the last person she expects to, and Clara turns to the
one boy she's been forbidden to see. With each passing day, new secrets,
resentment, and misunderstandings make mother and daughter fall further
apart. So far apart, it might be impossible for them to ever fall back
together.
