She can't wait to escape her New Jersey beach town, and her mom, and start life over in California.\u003cbr\u003eThat first message comes as a surprise to Lauren in San Francisco; she had requested a single. But if Lauren's learned anything from being the oldest of six, it's that you can't always get what you want, especially when what you want is privacy.\u003cbr\u003eSoon the girls are e-mailing back and forth, sharing secrets even though they've never met. With childhood friendships and family relationships strained by change, it suddenly seems that the only people Elizabeth and Lauren can rely on are the complicated new boys in their lives...and each other.\u003cbr\u003eWith humor and heart, Sara Zarr, National Book Award finalist for \u003ci\u003eStory of a Girl\u003c\/i\u003e, and Tara Altebrando, acclaimed author of \u003ci\u003eThe Pursuit of Happiness\u003c\/i\u003e, join forces for a novel about that time after high school when everything feels like it's ending just as it's beginning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSara Zarr\u003c\/b\u003e was raised in San Francisco, California, and now lives with her husband in Salt Lake City, Utah.
