Immediately following her parents' unexpected divorce, seventeen-year-old Aurora moves to Connecticut with her heartbroken mother. Unwilling to face her own depression and the problems at home, Aurora tries to socialize at her new school, but making decent friends isn't as easy as her mom said it would be. When Aurora meets Jazz and Lucas—who are daring, sarcastic, and the slightest amount of crazy—everything changes. Aurora quickly discovers that she isn't the only teenager with a complicated life.
Dear Aurora is about the journey of finding true friendship and forgiveness, surviving high school and family drama, romance, and the unwavering belief that you can pull yourself together after falling apart.
Dear Aurora hit me right in the feels numerous times and some of the situations were more familiar than I'd like to admit. This was Val's first published work and hopefully it won't be her last.
