From falling apart to falling in love
No-one in Spring Valley recognises Lark Woodley anymore. They only remember who she used to be. But Lark knows that her once-perfect life wasn’t really perfect, and in one evening...she lost it.
Now Lark’s trying to pick up the pieces. The only bright spot in her life is an art class taught by Nick Hoffman – the esoteric and unreasonably hot guy from high school. Suddenly Lark’s world is brightening up, from late-night apple pie with chocolate ice cream to an increasingly spicy situationship with Nick.
But what she’s found comes with a ‘best before summer’s end’ expiration date. And Lark doesn’t know if she can ever truly let go of aiming for perfect.
Perfect for fans of:

Cynthia St. Aubin wrote her first play at age eight and made her brothers perform it for the admission price of gum wrappers. A steal, considering she provided the wrappers in advance. When she was tall enough to reach the top drawer of her parents' dresser, she began pilfering her mother's secret stash of romance novels and has been in love with love ever since. A confirmed cheese addict and aspiring cat lady, she lives in Texas with a handsome musician.
