  Publication Date: March 27, 2018 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers Genre: Young Adult Contemporary Romance Page Count: 394 pages Synopsis: For Penny Lee high school was a total nonevent. Her friends were okay, her grades were fine, and while she somehow managed to land a boyfriend, he doesn’t actually know anything about her. When Penny heads to college in Austin, Texas, to learn how to become a writer, it’s seventy-nine miles and a zillion light years away from everything she can’t wait to leave behind. Sam’s stuck.
