AlbakiReads Editorial

A first year of high school, and a world opening up

Seventeen-year-old Abigail Lee enters high school after a lifetime of learning at home, bringing her into unfamiliar social and emotional territory. Her connection with the more experienced Carney Drew becomes the catalyst for a coming-of-age story shaped by first love, heartbreak, and difficult choices. The contrast between Abigail’s sheltered upbringing and the new experiences before her frames the book’s central concerns: growing up, navigating intimacy, and confronting change. The description signals a turning point in Abigail’s life without specifying how her decision unfolds.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in coming-of-age fiction
  • Readers drawn to stories about first love and heartbreak
  • Readers interested in a protagonist adjusting to high school after being homeschooled

Book overview

Seventeen-year-old Abigail Lee has spent her entire life learning at home, safe inside a small, predictable world. Starting high school for the first time should be terrifying. Instead, it is where she meets Carney Drew.

Carney is everything Abigail is not: confident, experienced, and already shaped by a life Abigail is only beginning to understand. As their bond deepens, Abigail finds herself pulled into emotions and choices she was never prepared for, forcing her to grow up faster than she ever imagined. Because sometimes coming of age does not happen slowly. Sometimes it arrives all at once, in the form of first love, first heartbreak, and a decision that changes everything.
