"I convinced myself that I was here, doing this brave thing for the town, for my friends, for my family, and maybe even a little bit for me. But I think it was actually all for you..."
Grab your sunnies and hit the beach with this honest betrayal of Maggie Stephens, a New York City journalist on her path to 'adulthood'...
Despite her intense passion, her knowledge of music, and her knack for writing, Maggie Stephens was ready to throw in the towel. After years of interning and interviewing, Maggie had finally accepted that she was not finding full-time work as a music critic. Forced to settle and accept an entertainment position at The New York Telegraph covering pop culture, Maggie had her work cut out for her.
Her first 'undercover' assignment had her trailing the whereabouts of Henry Barnes in the quaint and very familiar town of Hudson. Little did she know that this unwanted opportunity would lead her all the way back home. Home, the place Maggie had spent the last seven years avoiding.
In her breaks from professionally stalking Henry, Maggie's hometown visit reconnects her with old friends, family, new love and possibly even the 'spotlight.' Not without many mistakes and life lessons, this book is full of surprises, honesty and a touch of humor.
Alternating between the perspectives of Maggie and Henry, this compelling take on a young woman's path to adulthood reminds us that life can be beautiful and messy, and learning to embrace all the unexpected twists and turns is what makes it beautiful.
