Jane the Virgin meets The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants in New York Times bestselling author J. C. Cervantes's charming, romantic YA debut. Ava Granados will never forgive herself for being late to her beloved Nana's deathbed. For generations, blessings have been passed to the women in her family upon death, but due to a freaky flash flood that left Ava in a fender bender with a mysterious boy, she arrived seconds too late to for Nana's blessing-instead, all she gets is the wash of regret on her sisters' faces. Until Nana pops up with a challenge from beyond the grave. As it turns out, Nana did give Ava a blessing, but it missed, landing with the boy from the night of the storm. If Ava can't straighten out the mistake, Nana will linger as a ghost forever, which she's not exactly excited about. To help her on her quest, Ava will have her two older sisters and Nana's rather bumbling spiritual guide, Medardus, who is, of all things, the patron saint of teeth. For solitary Ava, being asked to befriend some random boy is the last thing she wants to do. She's gotten along just fine being wary and protecting her heart; keeping people at a distance is a great way to ensure no one ever hurts you. But as Ava and the gang embark on their mission to retrieve Nana's blessing, she starts to wonder if what she might gain by getting close to thunderstorm boy is worth the risk.
