Synopsis

For fans of Love, Simon and Eleanor and Park, a romantic and sweet novel about a transgender boy who falls in love for the first time—and how first love changes us all—from New York Times bestselling author Amber Smith.

Chris and Maia aren’t off to a great start.

A near-fatal car accident first brings them together, and their next encounters don’t fare much better. Chris’s good intentions backfire. Maia’s temper gets the best of her.

But they’re neighbors, at least for the summer, and despite their best efforts, they just can’t seem to stay away from each other.

The path forward isn’t easy. Chris has come out as transgender, but he’s still processing a frightening assault he survived the year before. Maia is grieving the loss of her older sister and trying to find her place in the world without her. Falling in love was the last thing on either of their minds.

But would it be so bad if it happened anyway?

Character Horoscopes

Before I begin, I thought I’d give a little backstory on my part of the creative blog tour. The stars and astrology are mentioned throughout the book, and I thought it would be interesting to give the main characters star signs and a horoscope that relates to the book. I’m just about halfway through, so these are going to be something like predictions for how the characters will continue to react to the situations in the book (NO SPOILERS, of course.)

Chris – Libra

Libras pride themselves on balance, however, when they find themselves in difficult situations they tend to get flustered. This summer, Libras are going to face more complicated situations than ever, but with perseverance and the help of loved ones, they will rise above their challenges and find happiness.

Maia – Virgo

Virgos are practical and systematic in life. Lately though, they’ve been unsure of normal routine and societal rules. This summer, Virgos will stretch their normal boundaries and get out of their comfort zone in order to find the peace that old systems and order used to bring them.

Isobel – Aquarius

Of all the signs, Aquarius is the most humanitarian and prone to healing of them all. Whether they want to or not, an Aquarius is always drawn to problems and striving to help others. This summer, they will be an important supporter in a loved one’s life, and encourage those around them to be brave.

Mallory – Leo

To put it simply, Leos love the spotlight and admiration of their peers. This summer, Leos will receive the attention they so much desire, however, it may not be in the positive light they were hoping for.

Coleton – Capricorn

Capricorns are skilled at leading and understanding social and emotional situations. Lately, they’ve been very confused and unsure of how to proceed in unfamiliar situations with loved ones and those around them. But this summer, Capricorns will regain their usual composure in life by understanding the problems that have plagued them for the last few months.

Whew! That took a lot of research but was so rewarding. I had a lot of fun with this and I’m loving the book so far!
