Becca Hanson is a reader-a
voracious reader. And with
all those fictional friends, she never had time for real
ones. Plus real ones come with uncontrollable quirks, like
constantly filling a room with song, drawing on any
available surface, and worst of all, dying. Real friends are
more trouble than they're worth. Since her best-and
only-real friend Charlotte's death six months before, Becca
has returned to a life of books in order to distance herself
from heartache and constant loneliness as her junior year at
Sandstone High begins.
When a class project forces her
into the Drama Club, she
attracts the attention of not one, but TWO guys involved in
the production, onstage and off. Meanwhile, she's still
dealing with the grief of Charlotte's death--the fact that
Charlie is away at MIT--and that she finally has to build a
life for herself on her own terms. Ultimately she learns
more about who she is, what she wants, how she feels--and
how to find what she's looking for. (And while she isn't
sure what comes next, she's pretty sure there'll be more
kissing involved.)
