A stunning debut novel about that uncertain summer after
high-school graduation. Emily has finally finished high school in
the small town where she has lived her whole life. At last, she
thinks, her adult life can begin. But what if you have no idea what
you want your new life to look like? What then? While Lincoln gets
ready to go backpacking in Australia, Melissa packs for university
on the east coast, and a new guy named Tyler provides welcome
distraction, Emily wonders whether she will end up working forever
at Pamela’s Country Catering, cutting the crusts off party
sandwiches and stuffing mushrooms. Is this her future? Being known
forever as the local girl whose mother abandoned her in the worst
way possible all those years ago? Visiting her spacey grandmother,
watching nature shows on TV with her dad and hanging out with
Robert the grocery clerk? Listening to the distant hum of the
highway leading out of the town everyone can’t wait to leave?
With poetic prose and a keen eye for the quirks and ironies of
small-town life, Jane Ozkowski captures the bittersweet uncertainty
of that weird, unreal summer after high school — a time that is
full of possibility and completely terrifying at the same time.
