    "description": "Hannah Gavener is fourteen in the summer of 1991. In the magazines she reads, celebrities plan elaborate weddings; in Hannah\u2019s own life, her parents\u2019 marriage is crumbling. And somewhere in between these two extremes--just maybe--lie the answers to love\u2019s most bewildering questions. But over the next decade and a half, as she moves from Philadelphia to Boston to Albuquerque, Hannah finds that the questions become more rather than less complicated: At what point can you no longer blame your adult failures on your messed-up childhood? Is settling for someone who\u2019s not your soul mate an act of maturity or an admission of defeat? And if you move to another state for a guy who might not love you back, are you being plucky or just pathetic?\n\nNone of the relationships in Hannah\u2019s life are without complications. There\u2019s her father, whose stubbornness Hannah realizes she\u2019s unfortunately inherited; her gorgeous cousin, Fig, whose misbehavior alternately intrigues and irritates Hannah; Henry, whom Hannah first falls for in college, while he\u2019s dating Fig; and the boyfriends who love her more or less than she deserves, who adore her or break her heart. By the time she\u2019s in her late twenties, Hannah has finally figured out what she wants most--but she doesn\u2019t yet know whether she\u2019ll find the courage to go after it. ",
