What the Maples Let Fall : A Coming-of-Age Novel of Betrayal, First Love, and Starting Over
Overview
She planned the perfect summer. He was planning how to tell her the truth.
Claire Hendricks has loved Ethan Marsh since she was fourteen. With graduation days away, she has saved forty Saturdays of bakery wages for one big surprise: a week at the ocean, just the two of them, before everything changes.
Ethan has a secret. And it has her best friend's name on it.
As graduation counts down, Ethan lies to the girl he loves while Maddie demands he choose. Claire turns to her best friend for advice, never imagining that the person she trusts most is the one holding the knife. When the truth finally comes out, it shatters three friendships and one very carefully planned summer.
But the story doesn't end where the heartbreak does.
Alone at the edge of the Atlantic, Claire finds a camera, a darkroom, and a version of herself she set aside years ago. As the maples turn gold, she must decide what to do with a letter, an apology, and a boy who is finally telling the truth.
