teaser 8:

Josie

But he just nudges his forehead against mine and whispers, “Goodnight, Josie.”

“Goodnight, Mitchell,” I whisper back.

And then he’s padding across the grass, his steps silent in his mismatched socks, across the lawn, into the darkness. Gone.

about the book:

Mitchell Morrison and Josie Sedgwick have spent their whole lives at the Indian Paintbrush Community Village, a commune full of colorful characters tucked in the mountains of North Carolina, and they aren’t particularly close—at least, not anymore. Josie wishes she could spend all of her time at Paintbrush planting tomatoes, hiking the trails, or throwing giant communal birthday parties, while Mitchell can’t wait to escape the bizarre spiritual sharing and noisy community dinners. Luckily for both of them, high school graduation is just around the corner.

But when Mitchell’s mother makes a scandalous announcement that rocks the close-knit Paintbrush community, and Josie’s younger sister starts to make some dangerously bad decisions, the two find themselves leaning on each other for support—and looking at each other in a whole new light. Their childhood friendship blossoms in to something more as they deal with their insane families, but as graduation approaches, so does life in the real world, forcing Josie and Mitchell to figure out what, exactly, their relationship is—and if it can survive their very different plans for the future.

about the author:

Hannah Bucchin has spent her life falling in love with beautiful places, both real and fictional. She grew up in charming Bethlehem, PA, went to college in sunny Chapel Hill, NC, spent a summer studying wildlife in Tanzania, volunteered on organic farms across New Zealand, and hiked all over Acadia National Park in Maine. When not writing, reading, or adventuring, she likes to daydream about the dog she’ll adopt someday, listen to music from the sixties, and exchange ridiculous texts with her parents and siblings.

teaser 7:

Mitchell

“Shut up, Cord,” I reply automatically. But my brain is turning. Are we just hanging out because Josie thinks I need help? Because she’s watching out for me, after everything that happened with my mom?

Maybe this isn’t anything. Maybe she just feels sorry for me.

But maybe isn’t enough for me to stop myself from seeing her tonight.

teaser 6:

Josie

And I push all thoughts of them out of my mind until the bell rings, and I practically race outside toward Mitchell’s truck. I don’t know what all his stuttering weirdness in the hallway was about, but I intend to find out.

I’m not fast enough because he still beats me there. If I raced out of school today, he must have sprinted. He’s fiddling with the radio as I approach the car. But as soon as I pull the passenger door open, he sits up straight.

“Josie.” He gazes at me, intense and serious. “We’re going on a mission.”

teaser 5:

Mitchell

I take a deep breath, and I tell the truth. “I don’t want to go home yet. And I don’t want to be alone.” And I don’t want this day to end, I think. But that I don’t say. I don’t know what’s happening right now between Josie and me, what’s been happening these last few days. All I know is that today, which should have been totally miserable and awful, was actually kind of beautiful and good. And I know that Josie is the reason why.

teaser 4:

Josie 

I turn my gaze from the view in front of me to him. “You notice that much about my family?” 

He trails his fingers over the ground. “It’s been twelve years since you all moved here. After twelve years, you start to notice some things.”

teaser 3:

Mitchell

She breezes past me, striding up the rocky mountain path at a surprisingly fast pace. “You can’t lie to me, Mitchell Morrison. I know you too well.” 

I quicken my pace to match hers, following her dark bobbing ponytail up the mountain, and it occurs to me that she might be right.

teaser 2:

Mitchell

She reaches out and squeezes my arm. For one second I’m terrified she’s going to hug me, because I know that if she hugs me—if anyone hugs me—I’ll totally lose it. And even though we’ve known each other a long time, we’re definitely not at a sobbing-in-each-other’s-arms level of friendship. At least not anymore. But it’s just her hand, resting on my arm, and her voice, warm and soft in the chilly night. “It’ll be okay.”

Josie

Graduation is only a few weeks away. I repeat this in my head like a mantra. Graduation is only a few weeks away. Graduation is only a few weeks away.

Let’s hope I can make it that long.
