Description

Always the outcast, Colie's resigned to a holiday with only her eccentric aunt for company. But when she finds a job waitressing at the Last Chance cafe, she also finds acceptance, new friends and the beginnings of romance.

Quick Summary

Last Chance serves up the ultimate found-family story as a lonely girl trades a boring summer for a life-changing job at a quirky roadside cafe. Kids will devour the sweet romance, the lovable cast of regulars who become like a second family, and Colie's satisfying transformation from outsider to beloved community member. If your teen enjoys heartwarming coming-of-age tales like The Princess Diaries or Austenland, they'll absolutely adore this Sarah Dessen classic.
