Synopsis:
For as long as she can remember, Wren Gray’s goal has been to please her parents. But as high school graduation nears, so does an uncomfortable realization: Pleasing her parents once overlapped with pleasing herself, but now . . . not so much. Wren needs to honor her own desires, but how can she if she doesn’t even know what they are?
Charlie Parker, on the other hand, is painfully aware of his heart’s desire. A gentle boy with a troubled past, Charlie has loved Wren since the day he first saw her. But a girl like Wren would never fall for a guy like Charlie—at least not the sort of guy Charlie believes himself to be.
And yet certain things are written in the stars. And in the summer after high school, Wren and Charlie’s souls will collide. But souls are complicated, as are the bodies that house them . . .
Sexy, romantic, and oh-so-true to life, this is an unforgettable look at first love from one of young adult fiction’s greatest writers.
My Thoughts: This sounds like a great summer read and the synopsis reminds me a lot of what I went through prior to going away for college and even before starting Law School. I'm still not sure where my parents wishes end and where my desires begin. I can't wait to see how the characters deal with this fine line!
I can't wait to read this one as well! I requested it a couple of months ago from the publisher, and then I saw it was added to NetGalley a few weeks ago. I hope you and I both get to read it early! It sounds like something I need to read, right about now! :)
