For one teen girl, the summer before college brings uncertainty about the future, familial pressure, and a budding romance—perfect for fans of Nicola Yoon!

It’s the longest day of the year, and eighteen-year-old Brandy Bailey has just received the worst news of her life: She’s been accepted to a top nursing school, making her mother overwhelmingly proud.

The thing is, Brandy wants to be an artist. She knows all the risks of chasing her dream. She’s heard them from her mother over and over.

On top of that, Brandy’s annoying classmate from high school, the startlingly handsome Ben Nolan, is catching his far-fetched dream of being an actor. Why does he get to be fearless while she has to be practical? Ben is the last thing Brandy wants on her mind, so of course today is the day he decides to glue himself to her hip. Now his perfect face is right there in the cacophony crashing through her head.

Spinning in too many directions, Brandy’s emotions clash with the flashing lights at the town’s summer carnival. Can she have one extraordinary night before everything changes?

Genre:

"Davis successfully takes on the challenge of telling a story that unfolds over the course of a single day.... Quick pacing and clever writing make this an appealing coming-of-age story."

“I truly enjoyed this book, it has a great message of Taking that leap and believe in your dreams… Even if it doesn’t align with what others had for you.”

“This book was so cute!!! I absolutely loved watching Brandy figuring out her feelings and discovering that she loves her high school nemesis.”

–Erin, After the final Page

“This was such an emotional and perfectly paced read. I found it impossible to put down, and though it takes place within a day, it’s a day of twists and turns and revelations… The romance was really strong, and it was lovely to see them come together and get to know each other on a deeper level.”
