Everybody has a story that will break your heart; a poignant
coming-of-age YA for fans of David Arnold, from the author of the
acclaimed The Agony of Bun O'Keefe, a Kirkus Best of the Year
selection. Poppy used to be an optimist. But after a photo of her
dressed as Rosie the Riveter is mocked online, she's having trouble
seeing the good in the world. As a result, Poppy trades her beloved
vintage clothes for a feathered chicken costume and accepts a job as
an anonymous sign waver outside a restaurant. There, Poppy meets
six-year-old girl Miracle, who helps Poppy see beyond her own pain,
opening her eyes to the people around her: Cam, her twin brother, who
is adjusting to life as an openly gay teen; Buck, a charming
photographer with a cute British accent and a not-so-cute mean-streak;
and Lewis a teen caring for an ailing parent, while struggling to
reach the final stages of his gender transition. As the summer
unfolds, Poppy stops glorifying the past and starts focusing on the
present. But just as she comes to terms with the fact that there is
good and bad in everyone, she is tested by a deep betrayal.
