"Is it possible to love in more than one way?"
This could be one of my favorite reads this year. It is certainly one of the most impactful books I’ve read this year.
Jace and Andrea come from vastly different backgrounds. She comes from an extremely wealthy family and he is from a family of aspiring musicians barely getting by. When their paths cross as teens they fall hard and fast, and are certain their love can endure. What will happen when fate tears them apart? Will the love they were so sure of at 17 weather all that the universe has to throw at them?
This was my first book by this author and I absolutely adored it. It is beautifully written and the characters are fully fleshed out. It is a coming of age story spanning 15 years, during which Jace and Andrea experience multiple lifetimes worth of misfortune and tragedy, but also an abundance of love. I particularly like the exploration of the different kinds of love that people can experience.
Andrea and Jace’s love story is beautiful and heart wrenching, and this book will tear you apart just to put you back together.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing a free copy of the audio book in exchange for an honest review.
