Everything New Again

#1 New York Times bestselling and Newbery Medal winning Renée Watson crafts a tender, romantic YA novel about beginnings and endings and new beginnings again. Bliss knows there‘s more to life than what she‘s experienced in her small town. She‘s ready to be the girl who isn‘t just waiting anymore, who can make something happen. Working in her family‘s funeral home, she can‘t help but ponder what it means to truly live and what it takes to leave a lasting legacy. Her existential questions have labeled her the weird "funeral home girl" to most of her peers, except for her best friend, Alex, and the new boy visiting from Portland for winter break. Solomon isn‘t put off by Bliss‘s musings. He has questions of his own, like why his mother abandoned him and if she ever did--or ever will--love him. He has come to visit for answers, and to work at his mom‘s flower shop, where he meets Bliss on a delivery to the funeral home. Their chance meeting changes everything. As they open up to each other, share their hearts and experience something real, something new, they find that even if a relationship has an end, love can last forever. Powerful, moving, and inspiring, Everything New Again is a story of first love perfect for fans of Jandy Nelson and Nicola Yoon, about falling in love and finding who you are--all at the same time.
