Their friendship saved his summer. Can it save her life?
Fifteen-year-old Nathan Green is homeschooled and restless, pedaling through the woods in search of something—anything—to give his summer meaning. Then he finds Alex, who pulls Nathan into her world—vibrant, chaotic, hurt.
As their friendship deepens, Nathan realizes that Alex is fighting something far more dangerous than boredom. And that refusing to give up on her may demand more than either of them is prepared to face.
Alex Was Here faithfully chronicles the nostalgia of teenage life in the early 2000s and the sort of friendship that never gives up.
