    • From Jennifer Niven, the #1 New York Times bestselling author, comes an unforgettable novel about a sensitive girl ready to embrace life’s challenges—sex, heartbreak, and family dramas. As graduation approaches, aspiring writer Claudine Henry is focused on college, becoming a famous author, and exploring the world of sex, without the need for love. However, her life is upended when her father reveals he and Claude's mother are separating, leaving her feeling as if her world is crumbling. In the aftermath, Claude and her mother retreat to a remote, mosquito-infested island off the Georgia coast to begin healing. This setting feels far from ideal for Claude, until she meets Jeremiah Crew, a local trail guide with a passion for photography and a mysterious past. Miah is brash and enigmatic, yet he uniquely understands Claude’s aspirations. When she decides to sleep with him, she convinces herself it’s just sex—no time for love, especially with her heart already in pieces. Compulsively readable and unforgettable, this luminous novel offers an insightful glimpse into a young woman determined to shape her own narrative, navigating the complexities of life with resilience, humor, and a few mosquito bites along the way.
