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.
When twenty-two-year-old Oriah (Ry) Pera learns that her mother’s job is relocating them to Majorca, she knows this summer could be the start of her very own coming-of-age story. Between chronic health issues and her mother’s overprotective tendencies, Ry feels like she’s stuck waiting for her life to begin.
In her first small act of rebellion, she heads off to the beach alone and meets an infuriatingly charming Spaniard. Julián makes Ry feel even more naive and inexperienced than she normally does, but she can’t tamp down her growing attraction.
As the summer continues, Julián pulls Ry out of her shell and into the adventures she’s always craved. But with her return to America looming, Ry must decide if she’s brave enough to finally follow her heart and live for herself.
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.
