It seems like ages since Auden slept through the night. Ever since the separation of her parents, or ever since the arguments began. She will now have the opportunity to enjoy a carefree summer at the quaint seaside town where her dad and his new family reside.
Auden is exposed to the world of females via his work at a clothing boutique: their conversations, their friendships, and their affections. She was too preoccupied with becoming her mother's ideal daughter to notice any of it. Then she meets Eli, a fascinating recluse and another sufferer of insomnia who serves as her tour guide around the town's nighttime environs. Together, they set out on opposing missions: Eli wants to accept his remorse at the loss of a friend, while Auden wants to live the carefree adolescent life she has been denied.
Sarah Dessen examines the souls of two lonely individuals who are learning to connect in her trademark pitch-perfect way.
