An irresistible, heartfelt, and hopeful novel about first love, first heartbreak, and the bittersweet beauty of growing up, for fans of Jenny Han, Sarah Dessen, and Mindy Kaling's Netflix hit "Never Have I Ever."
Senior year is off to a rough start for Augusta "Gus" Bowles; her boyfriend James "Fish" Fisher just left for college, and no amount of reassurance can fix the ache he left behind. At least next year, they'll reunite at Colgate when she locks in her spot on their Division 1 soccer team.
With the help of her loving family and best friends, Gus drags herself out of the blanket burrito phase just in time to start enjoying her last year of high school. Tired of watching her friends drool over the mysterious new guy, Reed Donovan, Gus decides to do what no one else will: introduce herself. To her surprise, Reed isn't just a quiet loner. He's funny, intriguing, and in a long-distance relationship of his own.
Finally, someone who gets it.
As Reed and Gus grow closer, their friends, and especially Fish, begin to doubt the platonic nature of their relationship, no matter how much Gus denies that it's anything more.As senior year hurtles forward, Gus finds herself torn between the boy she thought was her forever, the boy who understands her better than anyone else, and the version of herself she's still figuring out.
But sometimes growing up means making the decision no one saw coming and rewriting your story in the only way that feels right.
