Frankie Summer —ginger-haired, frecked, half-introvert, half-extrovert — is doing her best to finish community college while everyone she knows seems miles ahead of her in adulthood. Overwhelmed by her family’s expectations and not quite ready to grow up, she travels, she stalls, she dreams, and eventually lands back home in the modest apartment above her parents’ garage.

But the past she never knew is calling louder than ever.
