Jennifer Niven

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of All the Bright Places comes a compulsively readable novel about a young woman determined to write her own story--sex, heartbreak, family dramas, and all."A coming-of-age story that will make your heart ache." —PopSugarWith high school coming to an end, Claudine Henry is focused on four things: sex, starting college, becoming a famous writer, and... sex. But when her parents announce they're splitting up, her entire world begins to fall apart. The epic road trip she planned with her best friend is cancelled, and she finds herself stuck on a remote island off the coast of Georgia with her mom - an island with no WiFi, no cell service and no friends. Until she meets the free spirited, mysterious, and beautiful Jeremiah. He infuriates and intrigues her. Their chemistry takes her by surprise, and when Claude decides he should be her first, she tells herself it's just sex. Exactly what she wanted, right? They both know that what they have can't last forever, but maybe the time they have can be enough.

"Absolutely beautiful book. Jennifer Niven is great at really taking you into the minds and feelings of her characters. Maybe because this story was about her and her lfe, Claudette felt so real and relatable. I highly recommend!"

"I feel like the answer to "what's the point of all this?" Is the same reason why I come back again and again and read this book. It ends in heartbreak but ride is so unbelievably great that it can't ever not be worth it."

"Oh. My. God. I wish it was a happy ending. My heart is aching. I started bawling my eyes out while i was finishing this book. And then i bawled my eyes out more after I finished this book. I love it and hate it at the same time because my heart hurts. Such an amazing book though. She’s such a great writer."

"If we are doing star ratings based on what goodreads said, this is a solid 2. Maybe 2.5 stars. This was really just alright. There wasn't anything about this or the characters that make them stand out. Hannah was a bit more on the manic side than I usually like my characters. She's still stuck in that teenage hormonal stage when she dates. Like say, imagining the wedding on the first date. Yikes. Even worse, putting money down on a dress after three days. Yiiikes. She does fine, even after reminiscing on past crazy bits. It makes it sound like she's outgrown the crazy stage, but embarrassingly, she lapses. What I wanted was more skimped over. The yoga part. The rehab part. Because honestly, even not being a true yoga person, yoga is some of the best things you can do so I was looking forward to more growth and a better get to know you stage than this book offered. Somehow, even with the title of the series being Yoga in the City, yoga takes a bit of a backseat. It's a bit disappointing. There is a bonus epilogue that I did not read, because you have to sign up for the author's newsletter. I really hate gimmicks like this. Make me subscribe and unsubscribe in five minutes to read a bit more. Not worth the hassle."
