If Skylar Evans were a typical Creek View girl, her future would involve a double-wide trailer, a baby, and the graveyard shift at Taco Bell. But after graduation, the only thing separating straight-edge Skylar from art school is three months of summer. . . . until Skylar's mother loses her job.
Josh had a different escape route: the Marines. But after losing his leg in Afghanistan, he returned home, a shell of the cocksure boy he used to be.
What brings Skylar and Josh together is working at the Paradise - a quirky motel off California's Highway 99. Despite their differences, their shared isolation turns into a friendship and soon, something deeper.
Compelling and ultimately hopeful, this young adult novel is a powerful examination of love, loss, and resilience.
