Since I finished reading The Problem With Forever (you can find my review right here) I was in a bad book hangover. My first thought when I finished I’ll meet you there was: Why am I not living in a freaking YA novel? The Mitchells’ backyard was packed, full of recent and not-so-recent grads in various stages of party decay.
Despite their differences, their shared isolation turns into an unexpected friendship and, soon, something deeper.Ĭompelling and ultimately hopeful, this is a powerful examination of love, loss, and resilience. What brings Skylar and Josh together is working at the Paradise-a quirky motel off California’s Highway 99. But after losing his leg in Afghanistan, he returns home, a shell of the cocksure boy he used to be. Josh had a different escape route: the Marines.
But after graduation, the only thing separating Skylar from art school is three months of summer…until Skylar’s mother loses her job, and Skylar realizes her dreams may be slipping out of reach. If Skylar Evans were a typical Creek View girl, her future would involve a double-wide trailer, a baby on her hip, and the graveyard shift at Taco Bell.
