✦ Synopsis

17-year-old Vija Skalbe wants to be an all-American girl--no matter how hard her parents try to impose their strict Latvian standards on her. Then one day Nolan, a folksinger, steals her heart at a coffeehouse.

Soon Vija is cruising from one adventure to another, dizzy with joy, her new-found freedom and the excitement of being with the kind of guy who is a challenge.

However, when Vija's father has a heart attack, she must take over running the family lawn-care business. She feels overwhelmed until sweet brainiac Joel volunteers to help. He shares the workload and lifts her spirits with his humor. But it is Nolan who fills her heart.

It doesn't matter that Nolan wants everything his way. Or that he's constantly eyeing other girls. Or that he can be pouty and punitive. Or that he says she's seeing things all wrong. Until it does matter. But Vija's dazzled and in so deep. The thing is, she likes the excitement of being with him. Now, she is about to find out just how much she likes it.

Review

"...one of my favorite YA authors. Her books are warm, with unconventional but real feeling characters, and she has an amazing 'voice' that makes reading her books such a pleasure." ~~Fred LeBaron, Librarian, Chicago
