‘Santopolo is a true master of matters of the heart.’ Taylor Jenkins Reid
He was the first person to inspire her, to move her, to truly understand her. Was he meant to be the last?
Lucy is faced with a devastating choice. But before she can make her decision, she must start her story – their story – at the very beginning…
Lucy and Gabe meet at University on a day that changes their lives – and the world – forever. As the city burns behind them, they kiss for the first time.
When they meet again a year later, it seems fated. What follows is a thirteen-year journey of dreams, desires, jealousies, betrayals, and, ultimately, of love.
Is it fate that brought them together? Is it choice that kept them apart? Their journey will take Lucy and Gabe worlds apart, but never out of each other's hearts.
This devastatingly romantic novel about the enduring power of love, with its shocking, unforgettable ending, is perfect for fans of One Day.
I loved how fast and quick this read. I probably could have finished it in one day, but honestly the extremely heavy part of this book (talk about September 11) brought up memories and made me feel things very similar to what Lucy felt throughout the story.
I would still recommend reading it and I look forward to reading other books from the author.
