About this item

The story of a girl struggling to figure out her estranged brother, a new love, and her own life just as wildfires beset her small California town - by the acclaimed author of As Many Nows as I Can Get, herself a native of Paradise, California, destroyed in the 2018 Camp Fire. Seventeen-year-old Caprice wants to piece her family back together now that her older brother has returned home, even as she resents that he ever broke them apart. Just as she starts to get a new footing - falling in love for the first time, uncertainly mending her traumatized relationship with her brother, completing the app that will win her a college scholarship and a job in tech - wildfires strike Sierra, her small California town, forcing her to reckon with a future that is impossible to predict.
