Summary
Greta loves Carson’s confidence, and that’s why Carson decided to wear a three piece suit tonight. She wore her hair down because Greta likes to grab it when she’s close and she rolled her sleeves up because… well, because that might always be useful.

Summary
Greta had an eye for detail - the right shade of red lipstick, the careful swoop of her hair over one brow, the perfect brooch to accessorize the jacket of her traveling suit. The way Carson Shaw’s eyes had snagged on her lips the first time they met, the way she blushed when Greta winked at her, the way she stopped breathing when Greta stepped too close.
Or, Greta waits around for Carson after a game.

Summary
Greta finds there is something satisfying about mailing her new address to each one to her far-flung friends; Jo in California, Lupe in Texas, Esti back in Cuba. It feels like a statement, as though she is saying: look, I made it, I established myself.
Maybe I’m not too much after all.

Somehow, Greta's New York apartment becomes a crash-landing pad for every wayward Peach. (All except one, that is.)

Summary
"The letters paint a picture of Carson’s life since Rockford, and Greta hungers for every new instalment. She learns of what happened immediately after they parted on the porch, of the way Carson had returned to Idaho just long enough to draw a line under her life in Lake Valley. She follows Carson’s slow journey back to Illinois, this time to Chicago to earn a little money and try to set a new direction for herself. But, as a compass points always to the north, in time Carson had written to ask - ever so shyly and gently - if Greta might still want her to come to New York."
After months spent sending love letters back and forth across the country, Carson pays a visit to New York, just in time for Christmas.

Summary
That was the summer of 1963. That was before President Kennedy was shot, before the Beatles came, when I still thought I could join the Chicago Cubs someday, and I honestly believed I’d be swept off my feet if only I could find a guy as great as my dad.
Or, Carson Shaw is eighteen, and she can’t imagine either falling in love or disappointing her father—until she meets Greta Gill.
