About the book
“A riveting coming-of-age story about a girl sleepwalking through a hot Midwestern summer until the sudden reappearance of her mother—and a new boy in town—challenge her to dream bigger. Readers will eagerly follow Bliss as she discovers some rainbows are worth chasing.” —Laura Ruby, two-time National Book Award Finalist and author of Bone Gap
Seventeen-year-old Bliss Walker has been stuck in a home that doesn’t feel like hers for six years. Ever since Mama dropped her off and never came back.
Then, during a sweltering central Illinois summer before her senior year of high school, two things happen: Mama returns out of the blue, and Bliss meets Blake, a boy who listens like everything she has to say is worth hearing.
It should be a dream come true. But as this emotional story unfolds, Bliss finds herself facing a painful choice: between the life she’s always longed for, and the world she’s starting to make for herself.
Raw and unvarnished, Jennifer Wilson’s debut about one girl’s messy, unglamorous, very real summer is perfect for fans of Emergency Contact and Far from the Tree.
For Bliss, one hot Midwestern summer will change everything.
- A Bittersweet Coming of Age: Seventeen-year-old Bliss Walker feels like a stranger in her own life, still waiting for the mother who abandoned her six years ago.
- An Impossible Choice: When her mother suddenly returns, Bliss is torn between the dream she’s always held on to and a new future sparked by Blake, a boy who makes her feel seen.
- Emotional YA Romance: Faced with a painful decision, Bliss must figure out who she wants to be and what love truly means.
- Perfect for Fans of Sarah Dessen: A raw and heartfelt story about the messy, complicated bonds of family and the courage it takes to choose your own path.
