Auden has grown up with her mother in an environment that hasn't allowed for the typical high school experience. The summer before college, she goes to stay with her father, his new wife and their infant. There, she meets Eli, who also leads a rather secluded life, but they share the commonality of being awake late at night. It becomes a summer where Eli challenges Auden to experience everything she missed during high school. However, Auden also challenges Eli to confront his past and break out of his shell.
A story that revolves as much around broken family relationships and grief processing as it does around romance. It becomes a really compelling tale.
