APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
The angst and exhilaration of an opposites-attract teenage relationship is forced to contend with devastating reality when catastrophe knocks Rosie and Will’s budding romance utterly off course. Over the next decade or so they shuffle obsessively, compulsively in and out of each other’s lives, unable to fully commit or finally escape the other’s magnetic pull. But this seemingly endless dance never becomes frustrating or contrived—the obstacles keeping them apart, real and imagined, feel believable and consistent with what we gradually learn about each of them. Beyond the tragedy that separated them, much is hinted at that could fill another book—the destruction and anguish of Will’s early youth, the misery of Rosie’s parents and her fraught relationship with her remote, complicated mother. Yet there’s also enough authentic passion and joy here to keep us fully invested in the star-crossed couple, and rooting for them until the end.
