All'età di trentasei anni, Bobbi Jo Barker si ritrova a vivere una situazione che mai avrebbe immaginato: separata dall'unico uomo che ama e che amerà per tutta la vita. Disillusa, lascia la sua città per passare l'estate in Louisiana, sperando che la distanza possa guarire il suo cuore spezzato. Non le ci vuole molto per scoprire che scappare ha solo peggiorato le cose, e il peso del segreto che si porta dentro potrebbe schiacciarla. Shane Gallagher ha perso tutto ciò che conta davvero per lui. Di nuovo. Quando sua sorella gli fa una visita a sorpresa suggerendogli un soggiorno presso un bed and breakfast a Belle Adair in Louisiana, lui accetta la proposta, solo per allontanarsi dai problemi, dedicarsi alla pittura e liberare la mente dalla confusione. Quello che non si aspetta di trovare è proprio sua moglie, che lo ha lasciato tre mesi prima e che ora occupa la camera di fronte alla sua. Per un po' di tempo l'innegabile attrazione che esisteva tra loro è bastata a unirli, ma la vita esige di più. Mentre i giorni diventano settimane, Bobbi e Shane dovranno ricordare il passato per lottare per il loro futuro e sperare che la lunga strada verso casa li conduca l'uno nelle braccia dell'altra.

Bobbi Jo Barker, una delle famigerate tre gemelle Barker, è sempre stata innamorata di Shane Gallagher. In passato, il sentimento che li univa era stato così potente e inarrestabile da travolgerli. Data la giovane età, non sono stati capaci di gestirlo finendo con il commettere molti errori che li hanno portati ad allontanarsi in modo inesorabile e a fare scelte che li hanno segnati nel profondo. Ora che sono passati anni, i due si ritrovano e sono cambiati: lui deve rifarsi una vita e lei sta per sposare un altro. Ma è davvero così tutto diverso? Davvero quel sentimento non esiste più? Basta una scintilla, una notte di fuoco per rimettere tutto in discussione e pensare di provare a darsi una seconda possibilità. Una seconda opportunità che potrebbe portare alla loro definitiva distruzione o a un futuro meraviglioso...

Nessuno ha detto che tornare a casa sarebbe stato facile... Betty Jo Barker, pecora nera e portatrice di guai sotto ogni aspetto, è tornata a casa nella speranza di un nuovo inizio. Finalmente le cose iniziano a girare per il verso giusto fino a quando Beau Simon non arriva in città. L'uomo ha la capacità di premere ogni suo tasto, riuscendo a risvegliare emozioni morte da tempo e che preferirebbe lasciare sepolte. Sotto la superficie sa di essere a pezzi - le sue ferite sono profonde - e non può fare a meno di chiedersi: Beau Simon sarà colui in grado di guarirla? Beau Simon, la stella più luminosa di Hollywood, è giunto a New Waterford per un'unica ragione. È determinato ad avere Betty Jo Barker come protagonista del suo prossimo film. Sa che è perfetta per la parte, ma un precedente incontro potrebbe rivelarsi piuttosto difficile da superare.

Solo il tempo potrà dire se ciò che è sepolto nel passato potrà essere superato. O se l'amore potrà guarire tutto...

WHAT IS NORMAL?

For Trevor, normal was fast guitar licks, catching game-winning passes, and partying all night. Until a car accident leaves him with no band, no teammates, and no chance of graduating. It's kinda hard to ace your finals when you've been in a coma. The last thing he needs is stuck-up Everly Jenkins as his new tutor-those beautiful blue eyes catching every last flaw.

For Everly, normal was a perfect family around the dinner table, playing piano at Sunday service, and sunning by the pool. Until she discovers her whole life is a lie. Now the perfect pastor's daughter is hiding a life-changing secret, one that is slowly tearing her family apart. And spending the summer with notorious flirt Trevor Lewis means her darkest secret could be exposed.

This achingly beautiful story about two damaged teens struggling through pain and loss to redefine who they are-to their family, to themselves, and to each other-is sure to melt your heart.

Praise for Boys Like You:
"The classic miscommunications, the emotional pushing and pulling, the "will she?" and "won't he?" of the destined-to-be-in-love. Readers of Miranda Kenneally, Jenny Han, and Susane Colasanti will enjoy Stone." -VOYA

"The story handles challenging subjects like sex, drunk driving, and faith after tragedy in a sensitive and age-appropriate way ...just what readers need." -School Library Journal
