A swoony, heartfelt, and evocative standalone paperback original romance about first love, second chances, and finding yourself in the season of changeâperfect for fans of Misty Wilsonâs FALLING LIKE LEAVES and anyone looking for their next Gilmore Girls-esque fall read.
Some seasons change everything....
Five years ago, Claire was a child star, the goofy punchline of one of Americaâs favorite sitcoms. Until a series of devastating betrayals by her manager-father left her broke, humiliated, and desperate to disappear.
Now sheâs just another high school senior in postcard-perfect Glenridge, Connecticut, determined to leave her past behind. Not even her best friend knows who she used to beâor that sheâs scraping together every spare dollar to hopefully attend NYU.
When a movie shoot lands in Glenridgeâand with it, her former co-star and exâbest friend, Luke Cordovaâit threatens to stir up not only Claire's past, but also the dizzying crush she once had on Luke. He offers Claire a deal: let him shadow her to research his role, and heâll pay enough to make her college dreams possible.
As the woodsmoke-tinged October air grows colder, and she falls for Luke (again), Claire must confront what really drove her to hideâand whether she can step back into herself without being consumed by everything sheâs tried to forget.
