Seth Harris, an angry high school senior, struggling to keep motivated after his parents' divorce. He falls in love for the first time with Tessa Copeland, who distracts him from his crumbling world. He's willing to throw his future away for her, but with disastrous consequences.

In comes Marie Burn, the confident, bubbly student who inspires Seth to be a better guy. However, the more his feelings for Marie grow, the more the loyalty he promised to Tessa is tested. Will Seth hold onto Tessa for dear life, or will he let something good slip through his fingers?

Bloom is a coming of age, sweet-romance topped with 2007 nostalgia. If you like self-discovery and love triangles, then you'll love Sarah Blynne's first teenage read.
