About this audiobook

To All the Boys I've Loved Before meets You’ve Reached Sam—with all the feels of a Taylor Swift songin this love story in which explosive secrets threaten to tear everyone apart, including best friends (or maybe more?), Natalia and Ethan.

"One of the best YA novels I've read in a long time." —Rachel Lynn Solomon, author of Today Tonight Tomorrow

It’s Senior Sunrise, the epic overnight at the beach that kicks off senior year. But for Natalia and Ethan, it’s the first time seeing each other after what happened at junior prom—when they almost crossed the line from best friends to something more and ruined everything. After ghosting each other all summer, Natalia is desperate to pretend she doesn’t care and Ethan is desperate to fix his mistake.

When the senior class carries out their tradition of writing private letters to themselves—what they wish they would do this year if they were braver—Natalia pours her heart out. So does Ethan. So does everyone in their entire class. But in Natalia’s panicked attempt to retrieve her heartfelt confession, the wind scatters seven of the notes across the beach. Now, Ethan and Natalia are forced to work together to find the lost letters before any secrets are revealed—especially their own.

Seven private confessions. Seven time bombs loose for anyone to find. And one last chance before the sun rises for these two to fall in love.

A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt & Company.

I listened to the audio version of this book narrated by Max Meyers and Victoria Villarreal. Both of them were perfect for this YA book. The characters were very well developed, and the narration added another depth of realism to them. The story takes place right before the senior year of Natalia and Ethan. They and many of their fellow classmates are together for an overnight event to kick off the school year. The best friends' lives seem to be falling apart, and their relationship has turned awkward as they hide their truths from each other. There is plenty of teenage angst, but the author has created a beautiful love story that rises up out of all the teenage life drama. I fell in love with both Natalia and Ethan, and my heart ached for them at times. This was a wonderful story! Thanks to Macmillan Audio and NetGalley for this audiobook. All thoughts are my own.

About the author

Eva Des Lauriers is a California girl who became a diehard romantic when she married her best friend, the boy she sat next to in eleventh grade Calculus. She was a delight to have in class if only she stopped talking and now holds both an MSW and BA in Psychology. As a clinical social worker, she had the privilege of working with the vibrant and complicated teens for whom she now writes. When she isn’t writing, you can find her wandering through the redwoods, staring at the sea, or pretending she’s in a music video while listening to music. She lives with her husband, their two children, and her collection of kissing books in Northern California.
