A rich and emotionally deep story that will tug at readers’ heartstrings.
Blynne’s engrossing novel delves into the intricate world of teenage relationships and self-realization. Seth Harris is a disenchanted high school senior with no aspirations except writing. When Tessa Copeland unexpectedly enters his life, they start a tumultuous romance that becomes an escape from Seth’s fear of ending up like his parents. But when he meets Marie Burn, a bubbly writer, his beliefs are challenged and he must choose between loyalty and desire. The characters, especially Seth, possess a delicate balance of endearing qualities and flaws. Their choices carry an emotional weight that captivates the reader. Seth’s struggle between honoring his promise of loyalty to Tessa or following his heart adds depth to the story, making even the mundane high school interactions as compelling as the heartfelt conversations he shares with Tessa and Marie. Tessa’s rebellious spirit and Marie’s empathetic nature are skillfully examined, revealing their vulnerabilities without overshadowing their individual identities. A textured YA drama.
