Request #642 from Nikki

It is a “romance” but barely. It’s incredibly chaste, and about a young girl, 14 tops I think.
She has a crush on her friend’s brother’s friend. He’s a little older. He likes photography. She’s having such a hard time getting this boy to give her the time of day, and she finally tells her dad the problem when he asks. He tells her to show interest in the boy’s activities. What does he like? Ask him questions about himself and stop focusing on you. This works, she finds out he loves photography and he takes her out one day to take pictures. I think the last photo he took of her was at the “magic” hour of the day, when the light is perfect. She is sitting on a tree branch and he takes her picture and starts to fall for her. I think the cover depicts this moment. I feel like it was winter in parts. I remember more books like this, and they always talked about their school like PS 136 etc, so it must be set in NY.
I could have sworn it was called “The Golden Hour” or “The Magic Hour” but those don’t come up as this book when Googling.

If you know this book I would be eternally grateful! I feel so silly, looking for it so hard but it’s SO WEIRD that I remember so much of it yet can’t find it in my searching!
