What readers are saying

"Of all the books I’ve read this summer, this is by far the best.
I’m honestly surprised it hasn’t blown up yet. The thing that makes this story stand out from all the rest is the relatability and genuine heartfelt emotion."

"This is soooooooo good!!! I am HOOKED.
I loved the story line, Stephan (swoon) and Dawn are just so classic...Its paced really well, and the romance plot doesn’t take away from the adventure plot."

"An honest look at first love and the feelings that go alongside it.
Maya Mirza perfectly captures the voice of a teenage girl living through the 2000s... A sad,
sweet little story of forbidden love."
