YA
Over one summer day, sixteen-year-old Audrey reflects on her complicated romantic relationship with Brooks, a volunteer firefighter with a troubled past, as a wildfire threatens to burn Audrey's Southern California home. Dual timelines in the present and past work in conjunction to build suspense and create tension, effectively mirroring the encroaching fire and culminating in a somewhat predictable yet satisfying ending.
