#1 New York Times Bestseller Jamie McGuire returns to self-publishing
with this page-turning YA account of Erin Easter, one of three Erins in the small
senior class of rural Blackwell High School who not only share a first name, but
also their birthday. Erin Easter, raised by a neglectful single mom, keeps to herself
and admires Weston Gates from afar. The other Erins, Erin A. and Erin M. are the
darlings of the community: daughters of the two wealthiest families in town, best
friends, cheerleaders, and everything Erin Easter isn't--and they never let her forget
it. Erin A. has even claimed Weston since the 8th grade.
Weston is a well-liked star athlete, and the son of two prominent attorneys. He
struggles daily with the pressures of living up to his family name and secretly
empathizes with Erin Easter's feeling that she belongs somewhere else; in a
different life. Not until he begins sneaking nights out with Erin does he gain the
courage to buck expectations and acknowledge his feelings ... both for his future, and
for her.
But when a shocking tragedy rocks the tiny town, Erin's life is turned upside down
in the best way possible. But when the truth is revealed and everything Erin thinks
she wanted falls into her lap, life only becomes more complicated.
TEASER
“What are you reading?” A deep voice asked from the seat behind me.
I barely acknowledged Weston’s question, holding the cover of my book just high
enough for him to see.
He nodded, waiting for me to speak. When I didn’t, he offered a small smile, and
began to sit back. “What are you reading?” I asked.
Weston immediately leaned toward me, sharing his cover the way I had.
“Piers Anthony?” Weston cleared his throat to stifle a cough, and then smiled. “I like
his stuff.”
I nodded. “I approve.”
“Good,” Weston whispered. “I was worried.” After a short pause, he leaned into my
ear again. “Why don’t you ever talk to me in Art class?”
We had Art together in seventh period, the class I looked forward to all day. Weston
was in there, but more importantly, people like the Erins and Brady weren’t. We
were serious about our work, and it was the one place during the school day that I
could be myself.
“I guess I was just busy.”
“Are you going to be busy today?”
“Probably.”
“Well, maybe I’ll get lucky and you’ll take a break.” I turned around to hide my
grin, but not before glancing back and seeing the familiar look of hatred in Alder’s
eyes.
Whore, she mouthed, glaring at me.
