What to expect
From New York Times bestselling and Newbery Medal winning YA author Renée Watson comes a heartbreaking and tender winter romance about falling in love and finding who you are at the same time.
Bliss knows there’s more to life than her small town. Working in her family’s funeral home, she can’t help but wonder what it means to truly live and what it takes to leave a lasting legacy. Her questioning labels her the weird girl at school to most of her peers, except for her best friend, Alex, and for the new boy visiting from Portland.
Solomon is working at his mum’s flower shop for the winter break, and has plenty of questions of his own. Like why his mother abandoned him and if she ever did – or ever will – love him.
When he meets Bliss on a delivery to the funeral home, their chance meeting changes everything. As they open up to each other, share their hearts and experience something real, something new, they find that even if a relationship has an end, love can last forever.
Powerful, moving, and inspiring, Everything New Again is a story of first love perfect for fans of John Green, Jandy Nelson and Nicola Yoon.
