Publisher's Synopsis
For fans of Jandy Nelson and Rainbow Rowell comes a gorgeous debut novel about family, friends, and first love.
Lucille Bennett is pushed into adulthood after her mom decides to "take a break"…from parenting, from responsibility, from Lucille and her little sister, Wren. Left to cover for her absentee parents, Lucille thinks, "Wren and Lucille. Lucille and Wren. I will do whatever I have to. No one will pull us apart."
Now is not the time for level-headed Lucille to fall in love. But love-messy, inconvenient love-is what she's about to experience when she falls for Digby Jones, her best friend's brother. With blazing longing that builds to a fever pitch, Estelle Laure's soulful debut will keep readers hooked and hoping until the very last page.
"A funny, poetic, big-hearted reminder that life can-and will-take us all by surprise."
-Jennifer E. Smith, The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight
"Lucille may not take down a beast or assassinate any super bads, but she's what heroines look like and love like in real life."
-Justine Magazine
