A captivating story about four friends who have been slowly moving apart. Through alternating perspectives from the present and past, the characters rediscover and reveal their deepest secrets during one whirlwind of a lightning storm the night before SAT's that explain what really happened that summer three years ago.
This book reminds me a bit of The Sun is Also a Star and This is Where the World Ends, so if you liked this, then you should give the other two a try ;-)

Enjoyed this. Teenagers well written. Dialogue hard to follow at times as it swaps between characters quickly. Still worth a read. Good modern YA.

Cute, but overwhelmingly average story. Interesting premise. Plot and characters were underwhelming.

This book will make you believe in the impossible and the magic of four friends who piece themselves back together.

So I got this at my library. I WAS IN LOVE WITH IT. Once I returned it though I forgot the name and I found it here and I’m so happy I did so I can order it and keep it forever.

Four friends drift apart in high school, until a freak storm brings them together the night before the SATs. A good look at discovering who you are and who you want to be, and facing the fears that are holding you back.
I didn't love the ending.
