Adams, Alice

Debut author Adams has crafted a light, charming tale of love, loss, and the lasting power of friendship. The format of the book occasionally feels jarring—each chapter jumps forward in time, sometimes by months, sometimes years—and readers are left wondering where and when they are. But the characters are engaging and one cannot help but care about them. All in all, a perfect summer read. [See Prepub Alert, 12/7/15.]
