<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>From the author of "Even If the Sky Falls" comes another inspirational and heart-tugging contemporary novel about four Latinx friends who make New Year's resolutions for one another--and the whirlwind of a year that follows.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>A heart-expanding novel about four Latinx teens who make New Year's resolutions for one another--and the whirlwind of a year that follows. Fans of Erika L. Sánchez and Emery Lord will fall for this story of friendship, identity, and the struggle of finding yourself when all you want is to start over. </strong></p><p>From hiking trips to four-person birthday parties to never-ending group texts, Jess, Lee, Ryan, and Nora have always been inseparable. But now with senior year on the horizon, they've been growing apart. And so, as always, Jess makes a plan. </p><p>Reinstating their usual tradition of making resolutions together on New Year's Eve, Jess adds a new twist: instead of making their own resolutions, the four friends assign them to one another--dares like kiss someone you know is wrong for you, find your calling outside your mom's Puerto Rican restaurant, finally learn Spanish, and say yes to everything.</p><p>But as the year unfolds, Jess, Lee, Ryan, and Nora each test the bonds that hold them together. And amid first loves, heartbreaks, and life-changing decisions, beginning again is never as simple as it seems.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"[This story] explores heartbreak, family commitments, dreams, friendship, and other familiar adolescent challenges with authentic sensitivity."--<em>Publishers Weekly</em><br><br>"A compelling 24-hour romance that's as charged as its New Orleans setting."--<em>Kirkus Reviews</em><br><br>★ "Riveting and heartrending.
