About this item
ONE SUMMER in the French countryside, among sun-kissed fields of lavender . . . ANOTHER SUMMER in upstate New York, along familiar roads that lead to surprises . . . When Summer Everett makes a split-second decision, her summer divides into two parallel worlds. In one, she travels to France, where she s dreamed of going: a land of chocolate croissants, handsome boys, and art museums. In the other, she remains home, in her ordinary suburb, where she expects her ordinary life to continue but nothing is as it seems. In both summers, she will fall in love and discover new sides of herself. What may break her, though, is a terrible family secret, one she can't hide from anywhere. In the end, it might just be the truth she needs the most. From "New York Times" bestselling author Aimee Friedman comes an irresistible, inventive novel that takes readers around the world and back again, and asks us what matters more: the journey or the destination."
About the Author
Hi all! Welcome to my author page. Here's an ice cream cone for you! Who am I?
I'm a New York Times bestselling author of fiction for young adults, including the novels SEA CHANGE and TWO SUMMERS. I'm also a native New Yorker, with strong opinions about pizza, the subway, and where to get the best iced coffee. I grew in an apartment filled with books from around the world; my parents are immigrants from Eastern Europe, and they instilled in me a love of reading and languages. I attended the Bronx High School of Science and Vassar College, and I studied French in Aix-en-Provence, in the South of France, during one magical summer-- an experience which inspired my latest book, TWO SUMMERS.
I now live in New York City, where I also work full-time as a children's book editor. I love to read (of course) , explore the city, travel, and daydream. Learn more about me at aimeefriedmanbooks.com, and follow me on Twitter @aimeefriedman and on Instagram @aimeefriedmanbooks.
