Dessen’s new novel is the thoughtful coming-of-age story of Auden, a child who has always been the serious adult in the family. Never really having learned to have fun, Auden spends her last summer before college with her new stepmother and month-old stepsister at her father's beach house. There she meets a young man working through grief and loss who, like Auden, stays up all night. She learns to ride a bike, bowl, and enjoy summer-job camaraderie other teen girls. Ages 12-16.
