That summer, I finally grew into myself. The problem? I grew too fast. And fruit that grows too fast often bursts in the sunshine. For Clem, summers are for Maine-for wandering the blueberry barrens, helping her grandmother on the farm, and stargazing with her parents. But her grandmother is gone, she hasn't talked to her mom in months, and her dad is devoted to the family business. Now, all Clem wants to think about is a dance audition that could get her into Juilliard. She doesn't need another distraction. Then she meets Rico. He's nothing like the boys back home in LA or the boys in Maine, either. His secrets rival her own and as they grow closer, she must confront the hidden realities of places she thought she knew. In Julie True Kingsley's debut novel, Clem and Rico's worlds are threatening to tear them apart. Can they bridge the space between them before summer is just a memory?
