      A heartfelt coming-of-age story set in the time of academic pressure, divorce, and the #MeToo movement.

      Twelve-year-old Lilla Baxter-Willoughby doesn't lie. She's just a little bit…selective. So when Vivi dares Lilla to start telling the truth as part of their Summer of Brave, Lilla hesitates. Because if she says out loud what she really wants, her whole life might crash down around her. And she doesn't need that. Except maybe she does.
