Nothing Left to Burn by Heather Ezell is officially out today and I need you to run, not walk, to your nearest bookstore to get your copy. This book absolutely floored me. It slayed. It’s one of those books that will always stay with me, that will always come to mind first when giving book recommendations. It’s amazing. I guess I should tell you what it’s about, huh? Here’s the synopsis:
The autumn morning after sixteen-year-old Audrey Harper loses her virginity, she wakes to a loud, persistent knocking at her front door. Waiting for her are two firemen, there to let her know that the moment she’s been dreading has arrived: the enormous wildfire sweeping through Orange County, California, is now dangerously close to her idyllic gated community of Coto de Caza, and it’s time to evacuate.
Over the course of the next twenty-four hours, as Audrey wrestles with the possibility of losing her family home, she also recalls her early, easy summer days with Brooks, the charming, passionate, but troubled volunteer firefighter who enchants Audrey–and who is just as enthralled by her. But as secrets from Brooks’s dark past come to light, Audrey can’t help but wonder if there’s danger in the pull she feels–both toward this boy, and toward the fire burning in the distance.
