Description
A raw and powerful novel from queen of YA Holly Bourne, perfect for fans of Kathleen Glasgow and Amber Smith.
Amber just wants a bit of love, and six weeks working at an American summer camp might be the perfect place to find it.
Two years ago, her alcoholic mum abandoned her for California and never looked back. This trip is their chance to reconnect, but the reunion is nothing like Amber hoped.
Then there's Kyle, the all-American Prom King. Falling for him was never part of the plan, but neither was having her heart broken.
Will Amber find the love she deserves? Or will her American dream turn into a nightmare...
