For fans of Jenny Han and Morgan Matson, a witty, poignant novel about
second chances, letting go, and the unbreakable bonds of friendship.
Six months ago, Ashlyn Montiel died in a bike accident. Her best friend,
Cloudy, is keeping it together, at least on the outside. Cloudy's
insides are a different story: tangled, confused, heartbroken.
Kyle is falling apart, and everyone can tell. Ashlyn was his girlfriend,
and when she died, a part of him went with her. Maybe the only part he
cares about anymore.
As the two people who loved Ashlyn best, Cloudy and Kyle should be able
to lean on each other. But after a terrible mistake last year, they're
barely speaking. So when Cloudy discovers that Ashlyn's organs were
donated after her death and the Montiel family has been in touch with
three of the recipients, she does something a little bit crazy and a lot
out of character: she steals the letters and convinces Kyle to go on a
winter break road trip with her, from Oregon to California to Arizona to
Nevada. Maybe if they see the recipients--the people whose lives were
saved by Ashlyn's death--the world will open up again.
Or maybe it will be a huge mistake.
