After her parents' bitter divorce, family vacations to the Big Island in Hawaii ceased. But across the miles, eighteen-year-old Tegan Rossi remains connected to local Kai Kapule, her best friend from childhood. Now, Tegan finds herself alone and confused about how she got to the Big Island. With no wallet, no cell phone, purse, or plane ticket, Tegan struggles to piece together what happened. She must have come to surprise-visit Kai. Right?

As the teens grow even closer, Tegan pushes aside her worries and gets swept away in the vacation of her dreams. But each morning, Tegan startles awake from nightmares that become more difficult to ignore. Something is eerily amiss. Why is there a strange gap in her memory? Why can't she reach her parents or friends from home? And what's with the mysterious hourglass tattoo over her heart?

Kai promises to help Tegan figure out what is going on. But the answers they find only lead to more questions. As the week unfolds, Tegan will experience the magic of first love, the hope of second chances, and the bittersweet joy and grief of being human.

From the Author

This is my first published novel, and I am so thrilled it is making its way out into the world! More than three years of writing, research and revising went into The Best Week That Never Happened. While it is hard to pinpoint exactly where ideas come from, I began writing this novel after one of my best friends was killed in a car accident. She was always such a huge fan of my writing, and I hope this book makes her proud.

I found this book to be a compelling and heart-warming page-turner. I am not a young adult by any means, yet it captivated my interest big time. Woven into this story I found hope, wisdom, and joy. Reading this book was a burst of fun and a drink of positivity for my soul. Cannot wait for the next book from Dallas Woodburn!

Not just for young adults!

Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2020

So refreshing to read a young adult novel that doesn’t rely on tired or cringeworthy tropes. No dystopian future with the perfect teen heroes. A beautiful story about two young teens who must work through their own fears and insecurities while supporting each other to be their best (not perfect) possible self. All in front of the backdrop of an original and creative idea! Highly recommended!

TREAT YOURSELF TO THE BEST WEEK THAT NEVER HAPPENED

Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2020

Verified Purchase

I loved this book and was immediately drawn into the story and finished it in two sittings. Dallas is an outstanding writer and throughout the book I would read her words more than once because they were so descriptive and beautifully written. I could tell that what she put on the page was deeply thought through and that she had put a lot of time into her novel. Kai and Tegan's love story gave me goose bumps and her descriptions and details about the Big Island make me want to go there and see all of the places she wrote about. Treat yourself to THE BEST WEEK THAT NEVER HAPPENED.

Terrific book. First novel or twentieth, it’s a great read. YA is not my regular genre, but the book came highly recommended and I’m glad it did. Put me down now for the next one she writes!

This book was hard to put down! I loved the vivid descriptions of Hawaii and the relationship that blossoms between Kai and T while they search for answers. I would definitely recommend this book to middle/high schoolers and anyone who is interested in YA novels.
