A Sense Of The Infinite

By the author of the critically acclaimed Wild Awake, a beautiful coming-of-age story about deep friendship, the weight of secrets, and the healing power of nature. Its senior year of high school, and Annabeth is ready - ready for everything she and her best friend, Noe, have been planning and dreaming. But there are some things Annabeth isnt prepared for, like the constant presence of Noes new boyfriend. Like how her relationship with her mom is wearing and fraying. And like the way the secret shes been keeping hidden deep inside her for years has started clawing at her insides, making it hard to eat or even breathe. But most especially, she isnt prepared to lose Noe. For years, Noe has anchored Annabeth and set their joint path. Now Noe is drifting in another direction, making new plans and dreams that dont involve Annabeth. Without Noes constant companionship, Annabeths world begins to crumble. But as a chain of events pulls Annabeth further and further away from Noe, she finds herself closer and closer to discovering who shes really meant to be - with her best friend or without. Hilary T. Smiths second novel is a gorgeously written meditation on identity, loss, and the bonds of friendship.
