Publisher's Summary
Colleen Hoover meets Jandy Nelson in this emotional coming of age story, culminating the celebrated Italian saga.
Italy, the mid-90s. Fifteen-year-old bookish tomboy Leda is dating the bad boy of her dreams. Is it love? Is she ready for her first time? Leda discovers at her own expense that life is not a fairy tale and she finds her own way to make sense of darkness, love, and friendship....
