You Are Here

Emma Healy never fit in with the rest of her family. She's grown used to being the only ordinary one among her rather extraordinary parents and siblings. But when she finds a birth certificate for a twin brother she's never knew she had, along with a death certificate dated just two days later, she feels like a part of her has been justified in never feeling quite whole. Suddenly it seems important to visit his grave, to set off in search of her missing half.
When her next-door neighbor Peter Finnegan- who has quite an affinity for maps and a desperate wish to escape their small town- ends up coming along for the ride, Emma thinks that they can't possibly have anything in common. But as they head from upstate New York toward North Carolina, driving a beat-up and technically stolen car, they find themselves learning more about each other.
Neither is exactly sure what they're looking for, but with each passing mile, each new day of this journey, they seem to be getting much closer to finding it.
summary from simonandschuster.com
I love stories about life and finding out who you are and so on. I think they're always really inspiring. This book sounds really great, (awesome cover as well) and there's a little romance thrown into the mix which always makes this more interesting and fun. I'm really looking froward to this one. =)

This cover attracted me at first sight. The plot seems really nice too^^
ReplyDeleteI really want this one too. The idea of two people thinking they have nothing in common on a road trip intrigues me.
ReplyDeleteAs usual, you have great taste lol:)
