A lightning bug flew between Nick and me. Both of us reached out for it, our palms cupped. We missed the bug, but our fingers touched and somehow Nick was holding my two hands in his, and he didn't turn them loose.
The summer Edie dreaded turns out to be magic! When she leaves Chicago to visit her father in the little town he's moved to, she doesn’t expect to meet someone like Nick—serious, sensitive, and tender.
But he's older, a college student, and already has a girlfriend. Even so, Edie's never felt so attracted to a boy, and wonders if she's falling in love...
This story has as subplot in which Edie and Nick end up solving a mystery. This is a very good book.
