SOMEONE ELSE’S SUMMER
#1: Watch the sunrise.
#7: Kiss in the rain.
#15: Be brave with my life.
Anna has spent her life looking up to her older sister, Storm. With her ever-present lists and a personality too big for Muscatine, Iowa, Storm’s the leader of the pack—and Anna has always been happy to follow. Until Storm dies suddenly, leaving Anna without direction.
When Anna finds Storm’s last list—My Perfect Summer—it’s like her sister is back, taking charge one last time. Armed with a 1970 Monte Carlo (that she doesn’t know how to drive) and joined by Storm’s best friend, Cameron (who may be the answer to #5: Fall in Love), Anna sets off on a cross-country journey (#9: Road Trip!), marking off as many list items as she can along the way.
But the further Anna gets on the list, the more she discovers she didn’t really know her sister. Storm’s been keeping a devastating secret from Anna—a secret Cameron has known all along. As Anna learns the truth about Storm’s last days, she realizes she needs to let go of the future her sister created and figure out her own path in life.
And none of Storm’s lists can help her now.
