“I can’t
joke my way through an explanation for why I left. Why I stayed away for so
long. Why I still don’t want to be
here.” (Loc 40) So, right away, I’m intrigued.
The story
kicks off to Julia’s return to her home after being away for 306 days (for some
reason, that number is very specific,) but we know nothing of her trials and
adventures during her time away from
home. Where did she go? What did she do? And why, for heaven’s sakes, did she
leave? I mean, good friends, great boyfriend, a promising future—what could be
so wrong?
Of course,
not everyone is glad that Julia is back—not her baby sitter, and certainly not
the boy she loved. Seriously, did she think he’d wait around for her forever? If
anyone deserved the truth of why Julia ran away, it was sweet, lovable Josh. Like
him, you won’t be able to rest until you find out what happened on that last
night.
Filled with light-hearted
drama and quirky humor, this story is all about regression—reacquainting yourself
with dear friends and old flames, regaining your confidence to face hidden
truths, and remembering your past to discover a future. For all these
characters, it’s about forgiveness.
A quick and
enjoyable read!
My rating: 4 stars
