Synopsis

Wendy Wunder calls Proof of Forever, "The Sisterhood of the (Time) Traveling Pants for a new generation!"

Elegant and evocative, and now in paperback, Proof of Forever is one of those novels that hooks from the beginning and builds toward a stunning--and unexpected--end, calling to mind Gayle Forman and Ann Brashares.

From author and poet Lexa Hillyer comes the lyrical story of four seventeen-year-old friends who receive an unlikely chance to relive the perfect summer...and the devastating secret that could unravel it all.

Joy, Tali, Luce, and Zoe were once best friends. Now they barely speak. That is, until the fateful flash of a photo-booth camera transports them back in time, to the summer they were fifteen--the summer everything changed.

Photos fade. Friendships dissolve. Summers end. But this one will change the girls forever...again.

From the Back Cover:

Before:
It was the perfect summer of first kisses, skinny-dipping, and bonfires by the lake. Joy, Tali, Luce, and Zoe knew their final summer at Camp Okahatchee would come to an end, but they swore they'd stay friends.

After:
Now, two years later, their bond has faded, along with those memories.

THEN:
That is, until the fateful flash of a photo-booth camera transports the four of them back in time, to the summer they were fifteen--the summer everything changed.

Now:
The girls must re-create the past in order to return to the present. As they live through their second-chance summer, the mystery behind their lost friendship unravels, and a dark secret threatens to tear the girls apart all over again.

Always:
Summers end. But this one will change them forever.
