Riassunto

From the author of HOW TO LOVE comes another stunning contemporary novel, about a girl who returns to her hometown for 99 Days to face the two brothers she loved and left.

Day 1: Julia Donnelly eggs my house my first night back in Star Lake, and that s how I know everyone still remembers everything. She has every right to hate me, of course: I broke Patrick Donnelly s heart the night everything happened with his brother Gabe. Now, I m serving out my summer like a jail sentence: Just 99 days til I can leave for college, and be done.

Day 4: A nasty note on my windshield makes it clear Julia isn t finished. I m expecting a fight when someone taps me on the shoulder, but it s just Gabe home from college and actually happy to see me. For what it s worth, Molly Barlow, he says, I m really glad you re back.

Day 12: Gabe wouldn t quit til he got me to come to this party, and I m surprised to find I m actually having fun. I think he s about to kiss me and that s when I see Patrick. My Patrick, who s supposed to be clear across the country. My Patrick, who s never going to forgive me.

87 days of summer to go, and history is repeating itself. The last thing I want is to come between the Donnelly brothers again...but the truth is, the Donnellys stole my heart a long time ago.
