Get ready to start your own incredible, amazing life...right?
Alice McKinley is standing on the edge of something new--and half afraid she might fall off. Graduation is a big deal--that gauntlet of growing up that requires everyone she's known since forever to make huge decisions that will fling them here and there and far from home. But what if Alice wants to be that little dandelion seed that doesn't scatter? What if she doesn't have the heart to fly off into the horizon on the next big breeze? And what if that starts to make her feel like staying close to home means she's a little less incredible than her friends--and her boyfriend Patrick?
Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is be honest with yourself--and sometimes the most incredible thing you can do is sneak a little fun into all this soul-searching.
Synopsis
It’s the last semester of senior year, and while Alice and most of her friends are out looking for prom dresses, another classmate is shopping for a wedding dress—with room enough for a baby bump. But “till death do us part” won’t be coming out of Alice or Patrick’s lips for a long time—especially because Patrick is about to leave for Spain, and prom night could be the last time they’re together until the following summer! Still, Alice isn’t sure how “memorable” she wants the evening to be….
Full of the ups and downs of being a teen—and all the big and small moments along the way—Alice’s senior year is something readers have long been waiting for. Will graduation feel like the end of childhood...or the beginning of something new?
