But Danny wants to be with his own friends, and Bug’s mom is too busy, so Bug is stuck with their neighbor Philip’s nephew, Frankie. Bug’s not too excited about hanging out with a kid she’s never met, but they soon find some common ground. And as the summer unfolds, they find themselves learning some important lessons about each other, and the world. Like what it means to be your true self and how to be a good ally for others. That family can be the people you’re related to, but also the people you choose to have around you. And that even though life isn’t always fair, we can all do our part to make it more just.

"No one writes about love like Gayle Forman. Lose yourself in her passionate mash note to rock music, indie bookstores and best of all, the miracles that can happen when you take chances on other people." — E. LOCKHART, #1 New York Times bestselling author of We Were Liars and Again Again A poignant and uplifting novel about the power of community, from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of If I Stay. Aaron Stein used to think books were miracles. But not anymore. Even though he spends his days working in his family''s secondhand bookstore, the only book Aaron can bear to read is one about the demise of the dinosaurs. It''s a predicament he understands all too well, now that his brother and mom are gone and his friends have deserted him, leaving Aaron and his shambolic father alone in a moldering bookstore in a crusty mountain town where no one seems to read anymore. So when Aaron sees the opportunity to sell the store, he jumps at it, thinking this is the only way out. But he doesn''t account for Chad, a "best life" bro with a wheelchair and way too much optimism, or the town''s out-of-work lumberjacks taking on the failing shop as their pet project. And he certainly doesn''t anticipate meeting Hannah, a beautiful, brave musician who might possibly be the kind of inevitable he''s been waiting for. All of them will help Aaron to come to terms with what he''s lost, what he''s found, who he is, and who he wants to be, and show him that destruction doesn''t inevitably lead to extinction; sometimes it leads to the creation of something entirely new.
