Sixteen-year-old TESSA has always been popular, athletic, smart and driven. But when she makes a snap decision to throw a lit firecracker into the dry forest, she devastates her whole community, as well as her own life. With a town that despises her, a mother struggling to understand her, and her own future opportunities dwindling, Tessa must decide how to live her life when everything seems to want to drag her down. With 227 court-mandated apology letters to write, Tessa gives herself just that amount of time to figure out what’s worth living for. While volunteering at an assisted living home, she makes an unlikely friendship with EFFBY, a distrustful old woman with an angry relationship with the world. When she decides to reconcile Effby with her estranged son, she and a boy she’s trying not to fall in love with drive half-way across the country only to find that some mistakes can’t be undone. Although Tessa’s mission to reunite Effby with her son has failed, Effby had reconnected with the world through Tessa. Everyone deserves some happiness, even if they’ve turned the world upside down.
