Publisher Description
Nineteen-year-old Claire Pearson knows she needs a life. And some new friends.
But brittle, beautiful, and just a little bit too sassy for her own good sometimes, she no longer makes friends easily. And she has no clue where to start on the whole finding a life front, either. Not after a confidence-shattering year dogged by bad break-ups, friends who have become strangers, and her constant failure to meet her parents sky-high expectations.
When Robbie and Mia walk into Claire’s work they seem the least likely people to help her find a life. But despite Claire’s initial attempts to alienate them, an unexpected new friendship develops.
And it’s the warm, brilliant Mia who seems to get Claire like no one has before. Soon, Claire begins to question her feelings for her new friend.

Wonderfully written coming of age story
The life of a nineteen year old is as complex as it could be. It's this awkward transition between being barely a teen and almost an adult. A Story of Now captured these complexities in Claire's story very well, which explains the lengthy masterpiece. The story took its time to show the process of finding one's self in every aspect of life. My favorite part is the author's take on falling in love. There's a good balance of newness and affinity to it. It's relentless, magical and unexpected. Same three words I would use to describe the first time I fell in love. There are instances where in one chapter it tackles a subject only to leave the rest of the story to the imagination of the readers. Although this writing style may not be for everyone, don't get put off because this daring move is one of its charm. It pushes you on the edge only to pull you back deeper into the story.
