A compulsively readable story about how grief, love and the poignant beauty of life intertwine, from an outstanding debut novelist.
When Nathan meets Cara, sparks fly. Her smile lights him up, and he falls for her fast. Being with her is like taking a deep breath, after the terrible thing that happened three months ago. Cara feels the same. And this joy is a gift - because her life is shattered, too. Nathan feels like a new start. But they're both hiding a secret. And the secrets intertwine in a way neither of them could imagine. There's no way Cara and Nathan can be together. But, despite everything, they find it impossible to be apart. This is a stunningly written, thought-provoking drama about loss, atonement, and love which defines a lifetime.
Powerful and complex, it's a beautiful and compelling exploration of love and forgiveness. Bravo to Miranda! -- Louisa Reid * Author of Gloves Off and Handle with Care *
I found this book incredibly moving. Brutal, beautiful and ultimately hopeful, this coming of age story is layered and affecting. I loved the addition of the music and the way it captured Cara and Nathan's journey. A deep look at love, loss, grief and all the emotions in between. A rare new voice. -- Christine Pillainayagam * Author of Ellie Pillai is Brown *
