Hannah Gavener is fourteen in the summer of 1991, caught between the glamorous weddings of celebrities in magazines and the reality of her parents’ crumbling marriage. As she navigates her teenage years and moves from Philadelphia to Boston to Albuquerque, Hannah grapples with increasingly complex questions about love and relationships. At what point do childhood issues stop being an excuse for adult failures? Is settling for someone who isn’t your soul mate a sign of maturity or defeat? When moving for a guy who may not love you back, are you being brave or foolish? Each relationship in her life presents its own challenges: her stubborn father, her captivating yet troublesome cousin Fig, and Henry, the college crush who dates Fig while Hannah develops feelings for him. Throughout her twenties, Hannah encounters boyfriends who either love her or break her heart, leading her to a clearer understanding of what she truly desires. By the end of this journey, she knows what she wants but still questions her courage to pursue it. With honesty and humor, this narrative offers a poignant exploration of the external influences and personal choices that shape our identities.
