About Juniors (Unabridged)

From the bestselling author of The Descendants comes a coming-of-age story about a highschooler caught between two cultures—Hawaiian and Mainlander. “Wryly funny, generous-hearted, garnished with sun, surfing, and shave ice—a genuinely literary beach read.”— Kirkus Reviews , starred review Lea Lane has living in between all her life. Part Hawaiian, part Mainlander. Perpetual new girl at school. Hanging in the shadow of her actress mother’s spotlight. And now: new resident of the prominent West family’s guest cottage. Bracing herself for the embarrassment of being her classmates’ latest charity case, Lea is surprised when she starts becoming friends with Will and Whitney West instead—or in the case of gorgeous, unattainable Will, possibly even more than friends. And despite their differences, Whitney and Lea have a lot in common: both are navigating a tangled web of relationships, past disappointments, and future hopes. As things heat up with Will, and her friendship with Whitney deepens, Lea has to decide how much she’s willing to change in order to fit into their world. Lea Lane has lived in between all her life. But it isn’t until her junior year that she learns how to do it on her own terms.
