Sixteen-year-old Tatum Elsea is bracing for the worst summer of her life. Trapped under her stepmother-imposed house arrest and her BFF ghosting her, Tatum pours herself into the assigned community service. With a helpful push from her fellow community service member, Abby, Tatum fills her time at homebuilding her covert graphic design business, right under her stepmotherโs nose. When a cute cello-playing client sweeps Tatum off her feet, sheโs left breathless and eager to get out of these four walls.
But Tatum discovers she's not the only one in the house keeping secrets as she takes the chance to make amends with her family and friends. Encouraged by her feisty step-abuela/fairy-godmother, and filled with a new perception of life, Tatum is ready to start fresh and maybe even get her happy ending along the way.
A contemporary twist on the Cinderella tale, It Started With Goodbye features:
- secret admirer and hidden identity trope
- a strong, spunky female lead
- for fans of Elise Bryant, Meg Cabot, and Sarah Dessen
