About this audiobook
“A riveting coming-of-age story about a girl sleepwalking through a hot Midwestern summer until the sudden reappearance of her mother—and a new boy in town—challenge her to dream bigger. Readers will eagerly follow Bliss as she discovers some rainbows are worth chasing.” —Laura Ruby, two-time National Book Award Finalist and author of Bone Gap
Seventeen-year-old Bliss Walker has been stuck in a home that doesn’t feel like hers for six years. Ever since Mama dropped her off and never came back.
Then, the summer before her senior year of high school, two things happen: Mama returns out of the blue, and Bliss meets Blake, a boy who listens like everything she has to say is worth hearing.
It should be a dream come true. But as the summer spins on, Bliss finds herself facing a painful choice: between the life she’s always longed for, and the world she’s starting to make for herself.
Raw and unvarnished, Jennifer Wilson’s debut about one girl’s messy, unglamorous, very real summer in central Illinois is perfect for fans of Emergency Contact and Far from the Tree.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I spent most of the second half of this book waiting for Bliss to wake up and smell the coffee. Between her need to people please and chronic indecision, she bordered on annoying, but..There was still plenty of reason to feel empathy for her as the issues she had spent all seventeen years of her life a prisoner of, are ones lots of teens and adults face on a daily basis. Fortunately, sufficient situations break down, or come to a head by the end of the book, that she finally reaches out for said cup of coffee. Definitely a book worth adding to library collections where real-life issues and how to get through them, are valued.
