Seth has found The One.

But his heart has other ideas...

When Seth Harris's mom walks out on the family before his senior year begins, he shirks schoolwork to bury himself in writing. Then, he falls in love with Tessa Copeland-a fellow outsider with a similarly low desire to graduate.

Determined to show more loyalty than his mother, Seth promises Tessa he'll never leave her. But in between their dates, Seth runs into Marie Burn, the confident, bubbly student who inspires him to be a better guy.

Over instant messaging and shared headphones they swap story ideas-and Seth's promise starts to weigh on his mind. As the school year progresses, he holds onto Tessa for dear life...but is he letting something good slip through his fingers?

Bloom is a coming of age, sweet YA romance, topped with 2007 high school nostalgia. If you like love triangles, friends to lovers, and flip phones, then you'll love Sarah Blynne's first teenage read.
