Sweet Sorrow by David Nicholls

5.0

Took me a while to get into Sweet Sorrow, but once I did I loved it! David Nicholls perfectly captures adolescence, family troubles and being uncertain of the future.

“This is a love story, though now that it’s over it occurs to me that it’s actually four or five, perhaps more: familial and paternal love; the slow-burning, reviving love of friends; the brief, blinding explosion of first love that can only be looked at directly once it has burnt out.”
