The problem? I grew too fast. And fruit that grows too fast often bursts in the sunshine.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor Clem, summers are for Maine—for wandering the blueberry barrens, helping her grandmother on the farm, and stargazing with her parents. But her grandmother is gone, she hasn’t talked to her mom in months, and her dad is devoted to the family business. Now, all Clem wants to think about is a dance audition that could get her into Juilliard. She doesn’t need another distraction. Then she meets Rico. He’s nothing like the boys back home in LA or the boys in Maine, either. His secrets rival her own and as they grow closer, she must confront the hidden realities of places she thought she knew. In Julie True Kingsley’s debut novel, Clem and Rico’s worlds are threatening to tear them apart. Can they bridge the space between them before summer is just a memory?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenre: Young Adult Fiction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 13+\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"aecizt ciGGdC QfrfFD cell\" data-hook=\"collapse-info-minus-icon\"\u003e\u003csvg viewbox=\"0 0 15 15\" fill=\"currentColor\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\"\u003e\u003cg id=\"Page-2\" stroke=\"none\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"1\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\"\u003e\u003cg id=\"Desktop-1920-\/-1080\" fill=\"currentColor\" fill-rule=\"nonzero\"\u003e\u003cg id=\"new_minus\" transform=\"translate(2 7)\"\u003e\u003cg id=\"Rectangle-5\"\u003e\u003cg id=\"Page-1\"\u003e\u003cg id=\"Desktop-1920-\/-1080\"\u003e\u003cg id=\"Group\"\u003e\u003cpath id=\"Rectangle-5\" d=\"M0 0L11 0 11 1 0 1z\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/g\u003e\u003c\/g\u003e\u003c\/g\u003e\u003c\/g\u003e\u003c\/g\u003e\u003c\/g\u003e\u003c\/g\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv aria-hidden=\"false\" class=\"rah-static rah-static--height-auto\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ulKuLk QfrfFD cell\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-hook=\"info-section-description\" class=\"zp8uy2 veCD9x\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJulie True Kingsley, is the co-founder of The Manuscript Academy, an online writing community that focuses on education on the road to publication, and co-host of The Manuscript Academy podcast.
