About this audiobook
In this bittersweet contemporary novel, a broken-hearted teenager has to learn how to move forward after a life-shattering event.
“Genuine and satisfying. An earnest debut about coping with loss and trauma.”—Booklist
“Heartwarming.”—School Library Journal, starred review
It’s hard to keep close a person everyone keeps telling you is gone.
Sixty-five days after the death of her older sister, Juniper Lemon discovers the break-up letter addressed to “You” Camilla wrote the day she died. Juniper is shocked—she knew nothing of her sister’s relationship, and now the hole Camilla left in her life feels that much bigger. She’s determined to uncover You’s identity and deliver Camie’s letter. Maybe, just maybe, that would help fill the sister-shaped void Camilla left behind.
But what Juniper doesn’t expect is that the search for You will lead to learning other people’s secrets: private crushes, shames, fears—or that these secrets will connect her to classmates she never thought to reach out to before. Classmates like the destructive but strangely magnetic Brand Sayers.
The biggest surprise? Wading through everyone else’s problems may be just what Juni needs to make peace with her own.
