"No one writes about love like Gayle Forman. Lose yourself in her passionate mash note to rock music, indie bookstores and best of all, the miracles that can happen when you take chances on other people." E. LOCKHART, #1 New York Times bestselling author of We Were Liars and Again AgainA poignant and uplifting novel about the power of community, from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of If I Stay.Aaron Stein used to think books were miracles. But not anymore. Even though he spends his days working in his familys secondhand bookstore, the only book Aaron can bear to read is one about the demise of the dinosaurs. Its a predicament he understands all too well, now that his brother and mom are gone and his friends have deserted him, leaving Aaron and his shambolic father alone in a moldering bookstore in a crusty mountain town where no one seems to read anymore.So when Aaron sees the opportunity to sell the store, he jumps at it, thinking this is the only way out. But he doesnt account for Chad, a "best life" bro with a wheelchair and way too much optimism, or the towns out-of-work lumberjacks taking on the failing shop as their pet project. And he certainly doesnt anticipate meeting Hannah, a beautiful, brave musician who might possibly be the kind of inevitable hes been waiting for.All of them will help Aaron to come to terms with what hes lost, what hes found, who he is, and who he wants to be, and show him that destruction doesnt inevitably lead to extinction; sometimes it leads to the creation of something entirely new.
