Goodreads
For Sophie, small-town life has never felt small. She has the Yum Yum Shoppe, with its famous fourteen flavors of ice cream; her beloved marching band, the pride and joy of Acadia High (even if the football team disagrees); and her four best friends, loving and infuriating, wonderfully weird and all she could ever ask for.

Then August moves in next door. A quiet guy with a magnetic smile, August seems determined to keep everyone at arm's length. Sophie in particular.

Country stars, revenge plots, and a few fake kisses (along with some excellent real ones) await Sophie in this hilarious, heartfelt story.
I took the plunge last year, and fell in love with Emma Mills' writing. I totally subscribe to her brand of YA contemporary, and will forever want to read everything she writes.

This book sounds so fun and charming, and I am chomping at the bit to read it. LOOK at all the wonderful things Mills has incorporated into this story:

Small town setting
A fun and quirky squad
A mysterious new boy
A story of friendship and love
Kissing! 💋

I am super excited to read this book, and look forward to my Emma-Mills-a-thon.


What are you waiting on?

    1. I had gotten this approval after get mass Penguin rejections and declined for S&S titles I really, really wanted. So, this was the universe's gift to me.

    1. The Henry Holt people do a great job with her covers. They are all artist and beautiful. Different from each other, yet seemingly related.

    1. They are just the perfect combination of everything and excellent contemporaries. It's in the friendships she assembles, the dialog the characters share, the family bonds she shows us. I always feel warm and fuzzy when reading her books.
