Sweethearts

Sweethearts is a heartfelt young adult novel by Sara Zarr about friendship, identity, first love, and growing up. As children, Jennifer Harris and Cameron Quick were social outcasts and each other’s only friend. When Cameron suddenly disappears from Jennifer’s life, she is left with unanswered questions and painful memories. Years later, Jennifer has reinvented herself as Jenna—a popular, confident high school student with a seemingly perfect life. But she has never forgotten Cameron. When he unexpectedly reappears, both must confront their shared past and the very different paths their lives have taken. Beautifully written and emotionally compelling, Sweethearts explores themes of belonging, self-acceptance, and the lasting impact people can have on our lives.
