This magical, fantastical story will stir up love in your heart.
We follow Lilah, who lived with and now has lost her Grandmother (after having lost her dad, mom, and brother Aiden in an accident). Though she's almost 18, she goes to live with a foster family (who let Lilah do her thing and don't bother her) until she ages out.

Next door, is her brother's childhood friend Joey. They immediately feel very connected to each other and start to see each other.

Then she follows Joey into a magical carnival that only is around for 9 nights every year. There she finds the sense of family that she hasn't felt for awhile.

I love Lilah. She's smart and kind. I love the connection between her and Joey, they just seem to be so right together! I was a little surprised at how it ended but it's the perfect set up for another book and that makes me so happy!
