A fall semester, an old grudge, and a new chance to reconnect

After a run of bad luck, Emma is sent to her grandmother’s home in Carlton Landing, where she plans to focus on school, her novel, and meeting the carpenter next door. Those plans become more complicated when Bryson, the childhood friend she has blamed for their broken friendship, returns after three years away. The small-town setting brings Emma repeatedly into his orbit, putting her long-held account of the falling-out alongside the possibility of forgiveness. Romance, friendship, and second thoughts shape this young adult story, with Emma also weighing her interest in the carpenter against her unresolved history with Bryson.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in clean romance.

Book overview

The My Favorite Color novels are fun, light-hearted, and funny romantic books for teens or anyone.

 

When her childhood best friend turned enemy arrives back in town after three years, a girl must decide whether to hold onto that grudge or open her heart and finally forgive.

 

After a recent string of bad luck, Emma's parents send her to live with her grandma for the fall semester in their Carlton Landing vacation home. Never mind that she swore never to return.

 

But during her small-town banishment, she's decided to focus on a few simple things: school work, finishing her novel, and, most importantly, arranging a chance meeting with the cute carpenter next door.

 

But her plans blow off course when Bryson, her childhood best friend, arrives.

 

Sure, he's tall and cute and has grown up in a very good way, but three years ago, she promised to hate him forever. She intends to steer clear but soon finds this tiny town won't let her avoid him...or the nagging feeling that she has it all wrong. He was the one to blame for their broken friendship...right?

 

Is he merely a distraction from her carefully laid plans with the carpenter, or will Bryson convince her to break that promise to herself and finally forgive?
