I Wish You Would

8,To All the Boys I've Loved Before meets You've Reached Sam--with all the feels of a Taylor Swift song--in this love story where explosive secrets threaten to tear everyone apart, including best friends (or maybe more?), Natalia and Ethan. For fans of Lynn Painter, Tillie Cole, and Laura Nowlin. It's Senior Sunrise, the epic overnight at the beach that kicks off senior year. But for Natalia and Ethan, it's the first time seeing each other after what happened at junior prom--when they almost crossed the line from best friends to something more and ruined everything. After ghosting each other all summer, Natalia is desperate to pretend she doesn't care and Ethan is desperate to fix his mistake. When the senior class carries out their tradition of writing private letters to themselves--what they wish they would do this year if they were braver--Natalia pours her heart out. So does Ethan. So does everyone in their entire class. But in Natalia's panicked attempt to retrieve her heartfelt confession, the wind scatters seven of the notes across the beach. Now, Ethan and Natalia are forced to work together to find the lost letters before any secrets are revealed--especially their own. Seven private confessions. Seven time bombs loose for anyone to find. And one last chance before the sun rises for these two to fall in love. One of the best YA novels I've read in a long time. --Rachel Lynn Solomon, author of Today Tonight Tomorrow
