Liminal Summer · An Alice Burton Book

Recent college graduate Alice Burton typically has a Plan A, B, and C. But now that her decisions have real consequences, she's feeling the delayed after-effects of the night her life was rocked by twin disasters-an injured father and a serious betrayal. Eager to start her "real life" somewhere other than her sleepy college town, she's laser-focused on a prestigious fellowship in New York City, but her acceptance hasn't arrived yet and she hasn't bothered with a back-up plan. Meanwhile, her father assumes she'll come home to Pittsburgh to work for him-something she's determined not to do. When blast-from-the-past Chris Thompson, who she might still be in love with, shows up, Alice questions everything, including herself.

Liminal Summer -the sequel to Jamie Beth Cohen's Wasted Pretty -follows Alice as she wrestles with the choices she has, the person she wants to become, and all the spaces in between.
