A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

When Nora's parents tell her they're taking her to Europe for three weeks the summer after she graduates from high school, she's excited . . . but she'd be more excited if her best friend, Lindsey, could come, too. The two of them have grown up together and sworn to travel the globe together some day. Nora does tons of the things that she and Lindsey talked about doing together - riding a gondola in Venice, sitting in a Parisian café on the Seine, waving hello to Big Ben.
But when Nora gets back from her trip, she makes a devastating discovery. Lindsey is gone after a night out partying with kids from school. Left to pick up the pieces, Nora finds solace only with Lindsey's brother, Noah. She's never paid cute but quiet Noah that much attention before, but she's suddenly starting to feel she'd go to the ends of the earth for him...

Revue de presse

"Tara Altebrando's first young adult novel is insightful, moving, and addictively readable... Satisfying but still realistic: THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS walks that tightrope with the greatest of ease." - Philadelphia Inquirer
"A dreamlike evocation of friendship and romance, and how tragedy can be transformed into art. Like Sarah Dessen's The Truth About Forever, THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS deals insightfully with love and loss" - Alex McAulay, author of Bad Girls
"A truly moving account of what it's like to lose a parent as an adolescent, told in a voice that's as winning as it is authentic." - Owen King, author of We're All In This Together.
