“I absolutely flew through this novel.” — Books Etc.

“Genuine, relatable, it’s a ride you’ll want to go on again.” — Sukasa Reads

After two drama-filled weeks at photography camp in Manhattan, Pippa Greene is back. Despite a super-swoony and über-romantic reunion with her boyfriend, Dylan, she can’t seem to shake the emotional aftermath of New York. As she navigates parental drama at home and her charged dynamic with Ben Baxter at school, Pippa finds that Dylan is more wrapped up in his new post-high-school life of bands, shows, and groupies than in their relationship. Will it survive?

Written with the same humor and heart that made Chantel Guertin’s first two Pippa Greene novels — The Rule of Thirds and Depth of Field — instant favorites, Leading Lines offers a fresh and charming perspective on friendships, family, and first love.
