Кэролайн считает дни до сентября, когда ей исполнится семнадцать лет и она и ее старший парень Джейк убегут вместе. Она больше не чувствует связи с кем-либо дома, теперь, когда у нее есть он, и не может дождаться возможности увидеть мир с самым важным человеком в ее жизни. Поэтому ей осталось всего несколько месяцев до свободы, она проводит свое лето, работая в местном магазине подарков в аквариуме и мечтая о падении. Затем она встречает Джорджию, консультанта по лагерю в аквариуме, и мир Кэролайн меняется. Благодаря обедам с пиццей, поездкам в парки развлечений и полуночным разговорам Джорджия начинает показывать Кэролайн, что жизнь не только в том, чтобы быть с Джейком. Чем сильнее связь между Джорджией и Кэролайн, тем более неуверенно Кэролайн чувствует себя в своих планах уехать. Когда лето подходит к концу, ей придется попрощаться с кем-то… но с кем же она?

But early on in New York City, Carrie winds up alienated, devoid of a single real friend, and feeling disconnected from everything around her.

Due to their mutual experiences with unfulfilled dreams, Carrie and Georgia began to discover a tough honesty and uncommon empathy for how they felt dealing with this gap between present .
Their enlightening paths cross as Georgia manages, in her usual fashion, to bring Tracy into the fold, pursuing a dream of family travel to escape from the heartache of her mentally ill mother, Georgia's late father's lover. Carrie, meanwhile, continues to build her career, but simultaneously discovers the loss of confirmation that ucky mixed with some jealousy gives her a new awareness perhaps where she could find her true place instead of just pursuing the position of "the new girl.

Описание книги от Sarah Van Name
Caroline is counting the days until September when she'll turn seventeen and she and her older boyfriend, Jake, will run away together. She doesn't feel connected to anyone at home now that she has him, and she can't wait to see the world with the most important person in her life. So with just a few more months until freedom, she spends her summer working at the local aquarium gift shop and dreaming of the fall. Then she meets Georgia, a counselor at the aquarium's camp, and Caroline's world changes. Through pizza lunches, trips to amusement parks, and midnight talks, Georgia begins to show Caroline that there's more to life than being with Jake. The stronger Georgia and Caroline's bond grows, the more uneasy Caroline becomes about her plans to leave. When summer comes to a close, she'll have to say goodbye to someone…but who is she willing to lose?
