Rewind to You
One
last summer before college on beautiful Tybee Island is supposed to
help Sienna forget. But how can she? This is where her family spent
every summer before everything changed, before the world as she knew it
was ripped away.
But
the past isn’t easily left behind. Especially when Sienna keeps having
episodes that take her back to the night she wants to forget. Even when
she meets the mysterious Austin Dobbs, the guy with the intense blue
eyes, athlete’s body, and weakness for pralines who scooped her out of
trouble when she blacked out on River Street.
When
she’s with Austin, Sienna feels a whole new world opening up to her.
Austin has secrets, and she has history. But caught between the past and
the future, Sienna can still choose what happens now…

Johnston lives in Utah with her husband and two children. Growing up
with five siblings, a few horses, peach trees, beehives and gardens, she
developed an active imagination and always loved a good story. She fell
in love with the young adult genre both through her experience in high
school as well as her job later as a high school teacher. Laura enjoys
running, playing tennis, sewing, traveling, writing, and above all,
spending time with her husband and kids. REWIND TO YOU is her debut
novel.
Excerpt
I’m
increasingly aware of Austin—his shower-fresh scent, every curve of
muscle and the rise and fall of his chest with every breath—as he stands
behind me and wraps his arms around mine.
“I’ll teach you,” he says, his hot breath against my ear seeping in. Whispering a thrill.
His
hand cups the back of mine. I watch as he positions my pinkie and ring
fingers over the threads and slides my thumb down. “Hold the football
with your fingertips.”
I
glance at his face above my shoulder, his blue eyes, strong jaw and his
lips. And suddenly, football is the last thing on my mind.
Praise for the Book
“Johnston’s
debut spotlights romance and familial relationships, including themes
like grief and self-sacrifice. It’s an ideal story for readers looking
for a deep-rooted YA love story with the emotional ups and downs and
poignancy of a Nicholas Sparks contemporary. There’s also a touch of wit
and a sigh-worthy hero – a definite on your TBR list.” – RT Book
Reviews
