From Marie Marquardt, the author of Dream Things True and The Radius of Us, comes a story of two teenagers learning what to hold on to, what to let go of, and that sometimes love gets in the way of our plans.Back when they were still strangers, TJ Carvalho witnessed the only moment in Vivi Flanniganâs life when she lost control entirely. Now, TJ canât seem to erase that moment from his mind, no matter how hard he tries. Vivi doesnât remember any of it, but sheâs determined to leave it far behind. And she will.But when Vivi returns home from her first year away at college, her big plans and TJâs ambition to become a nurse land them both on the heart ward of a university hospital, facing them with a long and painful summer together â three months of glorified babysitting for Ăngel, the problem patient on the hall. Sure, Ăngel may be suffering from a life-threatening heart infection, but that doesnât make him any less of a pain.As it turns out, though, Ăngel SolĂs has a thing or two to teach them about all those big plans, and the incredible moments when love gets in their way.Written in alternating first person from the perspectives of all three characters, Flight Season is a story about discovering whatâs really worth holding onto, learning how to let go of the rest, and that one crazy summer that changes your life forever.
