New Adult Contemporary Romance
Talia Stolfi lives her life by one rule--fake it till you make it. But the act is getting harder and harder to maintain. Her older sister was taken off life support last year and her whole family fell apart. Mom drunk-dials with TMI about the hairy hippie she's dating. Dad spends his nights eating cold pizza and not talking. Talia disastrously loses her virginity to her sister's boyfriend in a shared moment of grief. To top it off, no one knows she suffers from OCD. In fact, she's been so wrapped up with her secret compulsions that she never turned in her senior thesis. Now she's not graduating with an honors in history. She's not graduating--period.
A low-key exchange semester to Australia seems like the perfect way to cut and run until a chance encounter throws her into the path of a surly environmental activist.
Bran Lockhart is square in the midst of a shite year. After the girl of his dreams turned into his worst nightmare, he slunk back to town, and lives in the world's dodgiest share house. He alternates his days between being mocked by commuters while dressed as a pocket-change collecting Koala for The Wilderness Society and tutoring at Melbourne University. He needs to salvage his plans to study climate change or pack it all in, move to the beach and be a full time surf bum. The last thing he wants is this nagging curiosity about a cute American with sad eyes.
One unexpected kiss leads to another and soon Talia and Bran find themselves in uncharted territory. As they are tested by life's challenges, they discover the courage to claim love and learn that sometimes in order to find yourself, you need to venture off the map.
