Her father is a best-selling romance author, but after hitting a bit of writers block, decided to move the family out the hustle and bustle of the big city. This is the story of Sloane after her family moves to a small, vacation town in Florida from New York in her senior year of high school.
"With sporadic references to Jane Austen's famous characters and wickedly inventive language, Mills closely observes the social milieu of an American high school. “Fans of romances, friend-ensemble novels, and literary fiction can thus all find their own level of enjoyment here.” - The Bulletin "With taut, realistic dialogue, expertly crafts blossoming friendships and nascent romances." -Publishers Weekly "With taut, realistic dialogue, expertly crafts blossoming friendships and nascent romances." - Publishers Weekly When a beloved painting by the twins' late mother goes missing, Sloane takes on the responsibility of tracking it down, a journey that takes her across state lines-and ever deeper into the twins' lives. Sloane becomes closest to Vera, a social-media star who lights up any room, and Gabe, Vera's twin brother and the most serious person Sloane's ever met. And it will lead her (and, um, her dad) on a life-changing adventure. Sloane isn’t expecting to fall in love with a group of friends when she moves from New York to Florida-especially not a group of friends so intense, so layered with private tragedies and secret codes, so all-consuming. Filled with intense and important friendships, a wonderful warts-and-all family, shiveringly good romance, and sharp, witty dialogue, this story from Emma Mills ( First & Then) is about finding the people you never knew you needed.
