A remarkable story of strange beauty and self-discovery from Printz
Award winner Nick Lake.
Cassie is writing a letter to the boy whose heart she broke. She's
trying to explain why. Why she pushed him away. Why her father got so
angry when he saw them together. Why she disappears some nights. Why she
won't let herself remember what happened that long-ago night on the
boardwalk. Why she fell apart so completely.
Desperate for his forgiveness, she's telling the whole story of the
summer she nearly lost herself. She's hoping that love-love for your
family, love for that person who makes your heart beat faster, and love
for yourself-can save both of them after all.
