Publisher's summary

Sarah Dessen meets Adam Silvera in the debut YA romance everyone is talking about!

“A breathtaking tour de force of angst and longing. Heartbreaking, painfully romantic, and deeply human.” —STEPHANIE GARBER, #1 bestselling author of Caraval

“A novel you can make yourself at home in, with characters so real it feels like you’ve known them for ages.” —JENNA EVANS WELCH, bestselling author of Love & Gelato

“This book comes with its own aching heartbeat. Be forewarned, it’s stronger than it looks.” —STACEY LEE, award-winning author of The Downstairs Girl

Ellis and Easton have been inseparable since childhood. But when a rash decision throws Ellis’s life—and her relationship with Easton—into chaos, she’s forced to move halfway across the country, far from everything she’s ever known.

Now Ellis hasn’t spoken to Easton in a year, and maybe it’s better that way; maybe eventually the Easton-shaped hole in her heart will heal.

But when Easton’s mom invites her home for a visit, Ellis finds herself tangled up in the web of heartache, betrayal, and anger she left behind . . . and with the boy she never stopped loving.

PURCHASE NOW.

Oof, just right in the gut. This was so beautiful and intricate. I was so invested in so many of the characters, and the world that Dwyer painted was so crystal clear yet the reader is still able to visualize their own by relating to the experiences she writes about. So well done.

Buy this book and then be prepare your ears and heart for the most beautiful, relatable, and enchanting story. I literally couldn’t stop listening to this - related to all of the emotions and fears and shame that the characters felt. Absolutely wonderful.

Loved it

The characters were voiced very well. I was reading the story hard back, and also got the audiobook, and I don’t regret it. Such an amazing experience. Love, this..

I feel like I have known these characters my whole life

Dwyer’s words are so gripping and powerful. Every piece of this book fits into the fabric she has built, many in ways I wasn’t expecting but when you realize it,.. it’s beautiful in a way I could have never expected or guessed. I honestly feel like these characters were people I grew up with. Like people I want to succeed in life and know where they end up.

This is a beautifully told story of pain and betrayal and not understanding how to process all of it at a young age. Well worth the read for anyone teen or adult who found a family they weren’t born into then wasn’t sure they were worthy of them.
