Description

Sometimes the only thing standing between fear and hope is yourself.

Almost a year ago, nineteen-year-old Cassie Harlen had a lot to deal with. A stack of college acceptance letters waiting for answers, a proposal from the boy next door, and a mother whose most recent bipolar episode left Cassie hurt and confused. Tired of cleaning up the messes caused by her mother’s disorder, of resenting her mother for not being there, and scared of being trapped by an inevitable future—which included marrying Graham Tucker—Cassie did the only thing she could think of to keep from ending up like her mother: she left.

Graham never knew why Cassie walked away. He woke up one morning and she was gone—along with the life that he’d created around her. After eleven months, Graham has a new plan for his future. One that doesn’t involve Cassie Harlen.

When Cassie’s mom nearly burns down her house, Cassie’s forced to return home. Back to a mother she’s tried to ignore and the guy she’s been unable to forget. Graham doesn’t know how he’s going to spend the whole summer living next door to the person who broke his heart without letting those old feelings push through to the surface.

Advance Praise

A complicated story of self-discovery, first love, and the hope of second chances. DAYS LIKE THIS left me breathless. Every word, every lyric, every raw, authentic emotion pulled me in deeper and deeper. Real life is messy. It's complicated, it's imperfect, and sometimes it hurts. But the hope of forgiveness, of redemption and love, keeps us fighting another day. Cass and Graham are two incredible people, tested by life, strengthened by fire, who cling to that hope. They deserve their second chance. And their story truly touched my heart. - Rachel Harris, New York Times Bestselling Author

It's told from Cassie and Graham's perspectives in alternating chapters and I absolutely love them both. If you've ever read a love story, it's pretty clear that they're going to end up together, but it's still so fun to see how and how long it takes. (Because oh wow, this book. THIS. BOOK. I want to flail about it but I don't want to ruin a second of it for you. So hurry and read this and find me so we can discuss.) I think this is my favorite NA novel ever. (And yes, I read Colleen Hoover and Cora Carmack.) It's sweet and wrenching and just perfect. - Kelly Hager, reviewer

I'm not exaggerating when I say that this book will make you laugh, cry, sing, swoon, and everything in between. 'Days Like This' raises the bar--delivering steamy romance, beautiful writing, and a meaningful story of pain, resilience, family, and identity. - Reviewer/Bookseller
