Book excerpt: She has two weeks to get it all back. Mariska Bokori never thought she'd spend her last two weeks of summer planning a fake prom, almost getting arrested in her pajamas, or falling for a guy with such an awful haircut. But that was before her stepfather accidentally threw away all her high school mementos. Now, armed with only her trusty camera and a deep-seated fear of leaving for college, Mariska is determined to recreate some of her favorite moments before her friends are scattered to the four corners of higher education. There's no time to lose, and there's certainly no time to be almost kissing Caine Fitzgibbon at every turn. They're just friends. And he thinks her plan is "unnecessary." But what does he know? He's about as sentimental as a park bench. Except, somehow, he's always there. And it turns out he might just know a thing or two about losing your past, if Mariska is willing to listen. keywords: romantic comedy young adult teen coming of age contemporary YA friends friendship BFF college university high school graduation summer after senior year humor road trip adventures hijinks yearbook photography darkroom pictures memories mementos scrapbook sentimental stepfather stepfamily single mom birth father biological parent mother-daughter family dynamics changes growing up moving away long-distance
