Minnesott Beach

Dewitt Griffin dreams of becoming an artist and leaving her small town behind. Nathan Cartwright has big dreams, too-but none of them matter until his parents sober up.At thirteen and fourteen, their worlds weren't supposed to collide. But when Nathan's parents skip town, Dewitt's the one who sees he's been abandoned-and helps him when he needs it most.That one moment sparks a friendship that reshapes them, growing into something as complicated and consuming as it is impossible to ignore. But growing up doesn't always mean growing together-not when Dewitt's manic highs and crushing lows pull her world apart. Not when family secrets weigh them down, and Nathan's past won't let him move forward.Not when being yourself isn't a fight-it's an all-out battle.Not when love isn't enough.Spanning adolescence and exploring the aching truths of growing up, Every Shade of You is a raw and lyrical coming-of-age story about mental illness, first love, and the scars we carry-until letting go becomes the bravest kind of love.
