Publisher Description
New York Times bestselling author and “the biggest literary phenom of her generation” (Cosmopolitan) Anna Todd returns with a moving and empowering new romance about a sheltered young woman whose life transforms during a summer in Majorca with a mysterious local.
Twenty-two-year-old Oriah Pera feels like she's stuck waiting for her life to begin. Between managing her health conditions and her overprotective mother, she struggles to find her independence. But when her mother's job takes them to Majorca, Ry know this summer will be the start of her new life.
In her first small act of rebellion, she heads off to the beach alone—and meets an infuriatingly charming Spaniard. Julian makes Ry feel even more naive and inexperienced than she normally does, but she can't help her growing attraction to him.
As the summer continues, Julian pulls Ry out of her shell and into the adventure she's always craved. But with her return to America looming, Ry must decide if she's brave enough to follow her heart and seek out the life she wants for herself.
"A luminous novel about first love, first adventures and the complex moments that change us forever." —Meghan Quinn, New York Times bestselling author
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Todd (After) breaks hearts and puts them back together with this tearjerker about a sheltered young woman with a potentially life-threatening genetic condition. Oriah "Ry" Pera has tuberous sclerosis, which causes invasive growths on internal organs, and she's refused the risky surgery that might remove them from her brain at the expense of her memories and possibly her life, much to the dismay of her wealthy and overprotective single mother, Isolde. When Isolde's company sends her to Mallorca, where she has deep roots, for the summer, Ry tags along, hoping to find out more about her family's past. Vowing to spend the summer as if every day were her last—which, as her condition worsens, it very well could be—Ry makes a happy-go-lucky new friend in scene-stealer Amara and falls hard for handsome local fisherman Julián Garcia. Todd mines deep emotions from this bittersweet premise and keeps the drama flowing with reveals about Isolde's past—including an unexpected connection between Isolde and Julián's father. The swoony romance and gorgeous backdrop are the cherries on top. Readers will want to have tissues at the ready.
