Anna Campbell first meets Gabe Weatherall when they are assigned to be partners for an project in their college economics class. Gabe is the charming frat guy adored by everyone, while Anna is the introverted student who prefers solitude. Despite their differences, the project forges a deep friendship. However, their bond is tested when Anna feels betrayed by Gabe, leading to years of silence between them. As time passes, they begin to reconnect, realizing that their feelings run deeper than friendship, yet the timing never aligns, until a family emergency brings Anna home, and they grow even closer. But just as their relationship blossoms, Anna uncovers a long-held secret Gabe has kept from her, reigniting past traumas that Anna thought she had buried. Now they must confront whether to let their hidden truths destroy their newfound love or find the strength to move beyond their painful histories. This story sensitively navigates the complexities of childhood trauma, while capturing Anna and Gabe’s heart-wrenching journey over the years.
VERDICT Wiesner (Wish I Were Here) skillfully builds the protagonists’ narrative in an emotional story about love and found families, keeping readers eagerly turning the page.
