"A perfect summer romance! A mystery, a grumpy but loveable hero, and some falling in love? What more could you want? As with everything Johnson writes, I adored this one."âKasie West, author of Better Than Revenge
"A summer vacation, a history lesson and above all an absolutely charming romance, If You Were Here had us savoring every page and never wanting to leave Lili and Wrenâs Nantucket.

"Part mystery, part love story, all heartâAbigail Johnson has mined an absolute gem of a book. If You Were Here reminded me why I fell in love with YA romance in the first place."â Emiko Jean, New York Times bestselling author of Tokyo Ever After
