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.
Between chronic health issues and an overprotective mother, twenty-two-year-old Oriah Pera feels like she's stuck waiting for her life to begin. But when her mother's job takes them to Majorca, Ry knows this summer could be the start of her very own coming-of-age story.
In her first small act of rebellion, she heads off to the beach alone and meets an infuriatingly charming Spaniard. Julian 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, Julian 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.
