Description

---

In this irresistible story, Kasie West explores the timeless question of what to do when you fall for the person you least expect. Witty and romantic, this paperback original from a fan favorite is perfect for fans of Stephanie Perkins and Morgan Matson.

Autumn Collins doesn’t let anyone get close.

She can’t tell anyone about her anxiety, especially not Jeff—he’d never be her boyfriend if he knew.

But then she gets trapped in the library, instead of making it up the mountain to a bonfire with Jeff and her friends.

And she isn’t alone: Dax Miller got locked in, too.

With tattoos and a juvie record and a constant scowl, Dax isn’t exactly helping Autumn feel any better. She’s sure Jeff will realize that he left her behind and come racing back to rescue her, any minute now.

Only he doesn’t come. No one does—instead, a snowstorm blows into town and the temperature plummets. Autumn tries to stay calm. As she and Dax trade secrets, forage for vending machine food, and huddle together for warmth, Autumn realizes she may not survive the weekend if she doesn’t let Dax get close. And to her surprise, she may want him to.

“A simmering romance that gives weight to mental health and hard choices.” - Kirkus Reviews
“West has created an intricately woven story of two possible futures” - School Library Journal on PIVOT POINT
“West’s premise is a winner, and Addie is the kind of heroine readers would want as a best friend-loyal, unpretentious, and thoughtful. Two love interests in Addie’s divergent futures make things even more interesting, as does a murder subplot. What truly makes West’s story memorable, however, is Addie’s wry humor (”I’ve been thinking about books where the main character’s parents are going through a divorce. A big theme is rebellion. I think I should give it a try”) and the book’s fascinating exploration of how life can change with one simple choice. ” - Publishers Weekly (starred review) on PIVOT POINT
“What seems like a fairly run-of-the-mill high-school story blossoms into a surprisingly engaging romance and journey of self-discovery” - Booklist about THE FILL-IN BOYFRIEND
“This is a genuinely clever and enjoyable book. Recommend this to fans of authors Sarah Dessen, Elizabeth Eulberg, and Stephanie Perkins as well as lovers of films like Clueless, Ten ThIngs I Hate About You, and Easy A. ” - School Library Journal on THE FILL-IN BOYFRIEND
“A sweet, breezy story that is nonetheless meaningful.” - Booklist on ON THE FENCE
