More About This Book

Overview

Lewis Champion has a theory that being in love with your best friend, when she doesn’t know it, is like being in Heaven and Hell at the same time. As a wallflower, he makes lots of theories about people, but this one’s personal. Lewis is in total, hopeless love with Jubilee Marshfield. His best friend. And he doesn’t have the guts to tell her.

But life gets urgent when his beloved grandfather gets terminal cancer. Paps, a wily old journalist with storytelling in his bones, wants to live his remaining days fully, so he helps Lewis plan to tell Jubilee his feelings.

Before Lewis tells her, Paps dies. Like a good story, though, Paps doesn’t go away. In his will, he leaves the strangest wish: he wants his ashes spread in his hometown, San Francisco, thousands of miles away from Minneapolis. And he wants Lewis to do it.

While Lewis’ instincts say to stay and be the quiet bystander in secret love with Jubilee, other forces say to go--his friends, a surprise chunk of money, and a mysterious series of letters that arrive after Paps’ death. Lewis decides the dying wish is worth the risk, and so is the risk of confessing his love to Jubliee.

On a rogue road trip that takes Lewis and his friends west into Paps’ past and closer together, Lewis discovers the power of stories, the courage to say what he feels, and the meaning of acting.

This was beautiful, riveting and wonderful. I felt every moment that Lewis experienced. I love the characters. I love the book. I'm so glad you're writing more.
Dear, dear Lewis (I feel this overwhelming affection for him and I just really, really, really want things to work out with Jubilee, haha)
One of the best experiences reading this book has been! Your style, the sorts of concepts you address. It's a lot and its perfect. Definitely one I plan to read over again and again.
