About this ebook
A teenage girl learns to forgive herself in this “heartfelt” (Kirkus Reviews) novel of loss and love from the New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Lost Names, The Winemaker’s Wife, and Meet Me in Paris.
There’s before. And then there’s after.
Lacey's world shatters when her dad is killed in a car accident. And secretly? She feels like it’s her fault. If she hadn’t taken her own sweet time getting ready that morning . . . well, it never would have happened. Her mom wouldn’t be a basket case. Her brother Logan wouldn’t drink. And her little brother would still have two parents.
But life goes on even if you don’t want it to. And when Lacey gets the chance to make a difference in the lives of some people at school, she jumps at it. Making lemonade out of lemons is her specialty. Except she didn’t count on meeting a guy like Sam. Or that sometimes? Lemonade can be a pretty bitter drink to swallow.

I read this for the first time back in middle school, I liked it so much that I reread it several times in middle school. I just found it after years of looking (I forgot the authors name and the book tittle was the same as the Harry styles fanfic turned movie bs) and reread it with adult eyes. I'm surprised it held up all these years. a book that moves me to tears is always a 5 star in my eyes
