Huntley Fitzpatrick

A gorgeous debut about family, friendship, first romance, and how to be true to one person you love without betraying another The Garretts are everything the Reeds are not. Loud, numerous, messy, affectionate. And every day from her balcony perch, seventeen-year-old Samantha Reed wishes she was one of them . . . until one summer evening, Jase Garrett climbs her terrace and changes everything. As the two fall fiercely in love, Jase's family makes Samantha one of their own. Then in an instant, the bottom drops out of her world and she is suddenly faced with an impossible decision. Which perfect family will save her? Or is it time she saved herself? A dreamy summer read, full of characters who stay with you long after the story is over. "A summer romance with depth." —The Boston Sunday Globe "Fitzpatrick's excellent first novel movingly captures the intensity of first love." —Publishers Weekly, starred review "An almost perfect summer romance." —Kirkus Reviews "On par with authors such as Sarah Dessen and Deb Caletti." —SLJ

"I listened to this and it was really cute actually. I thought it was going to be pretty corny but I liked this book a lot!"

"Just a fun and quick read!"

Jonathan Kent

"DNF. Hated the characters, I could not stand to read another page. This was probably because I was starting to get into LGBT books at the time of reading this."

"This was a fun read! A little slow at first but as soon as I got into it, it was over before I knew it! Huge plot twist but the story was very real and raw which I personally like in a book. Love Samantha and Jase’s relationship!"

"I LOVED THIS BOOK. I read this about 6 months ago and it has stuck with me, and that is saying something because I tend to forget the last book I read as soon as I start a new one. I love the characters so much and how the guy treats the girls just melts my heart. 10/10 recommend "
