While her mother, aerobics queen Kiki Sparks, spends the summer touring Europe, 15-year-old Colie Sparks is stuck in sleepy Colby, North Carolina. But she's not complaining. For one thing, her Aunt Mira is a sweet, laid-back eccentric; for another, no one knows that back home in Charlotte Colie is seen as a formerly-fat "golf-course slut," the school scapegoat. Then, by fate or by accident, Colie lands a waitressing job, where she meets Morgan and Isabel. The two wisecracking--and wise--twentysomething waitresses help her turn her life around, and realize the potential that has been there all along.Sarah Dessen's newest novel is poignant, humorous, and full of characters to cherish--what listeners are coming to expect from this extraordinary young talent.
