About this ebook
Two teens hit the road in search of themselves this breathtaking novel from Jennifer E. Smith, author of The Statistical Improbability of Love at First Sight and Hello, Goodbye, and Everything in Between—now a movie streaming on Netflix!
Sometimes to find out where you’re going, you have to discover what you’ve left behind.
Emma Healy is happier being alone. The only ordinary member of a family full of brilliant academics, she’s learned it’s better to not even try competing for attention. But when Emma makes a discovery that shakes the foundations of her identity, she realizes there may be a reason for why she’s never felt whole; to seek closure, she needs to travel from New York to North Carolina.
Peter Finnegan, who lives next door to the Healy family, rarely feels bothered anymore about the loneliness that pervades his life. He’s perpetually out of step with his family and misunderstood by peers like Emma who don’t understand his fascination with maps and the Civil War. When he gets an unexpected call from Emma saying her car has broken down in New Jersey, he drives to the rescue in a stolen yellow convertible, ready to shake loose from old patterns.
Together, they take to the open road, engaging in a universal quest to make sense of who they are and where they come from…and learning a thing or two about love along the way.
