It’s been so long since Auden slept at night. Ever since her parents’ divorce—or since the fighting started. A job in a clothes boutique introduces Auden to the world of girls: their talk, their friendship, their crushes.

She missed out on all that, too busy being the perfect daughter to her demanding mother. Then she meets Eli, an intriguing loner and a fellow insomniac who becomes her guide to the nocturnal world of the town. In her signature pitch-perfect style, Sarah Dessen explores the hearts of two lonely people learning to connect.
