THE IMPOSSIBLE VASTNESS OF US

THE IMPOSSIBLE VASTNESS OF US, the contemporary YA debut of New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Samantha Young, is a story of friendship, identity, love, and acceptance that will break readers’ hearts and leave them yearning for more.

When seventeen-year-old India Maxwell’s mother gets engaged to a man India’s never met, they move from the wrong side of the tracks in California to one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in Boston. India’s used to being one of the most popular girls in school, a good cover for what a mess her life really is at home, but suddenly she has to climb up from the bottom rung of the social ladder among the children of Boston’s elite. Forced into a new family and a new school all at once, India faces a chilly reception from her soon-to-be stepsister Eloise, Eloise’s boyfriend Finn, and all their friends. As India struggles to find some control in her life, she stumbles across secrets Eloise and Finn, the school’s golden couple, have been hiding from everyone, secrets that birth a new bond between the three of them and return India to her place among the in-crowd. If they can just make it through these last two years of high school, they’ll be able to head off to college and put their pasts—and family pressures—behind them. But when India and Finn grow closer, their friendship evolves into something more, which threatens to unravel the façades that are holding each of them together. As India opens herself up to other people for the first time, she learns that everyone’s life is more complicated than she could ever have imagined and that sometimes you need to trust people if you want to build a life worth living.
