This novel is exceptionally well written. Ms. Fine has managed to capture the awkward tension and discomfort between Levi and Sarah from almost the very first word. The main characters dance around each other until the reader is overwhelmed with the need to know what exactly drove these two apart. When the mystery is revealed, it is heart-rending. Rarely do I empathize with characters like I did with these two.The writing style is to be praised. Ms. Fine uses first-person present narration so skillfully you hardly notice it. She manages to let her characters speak without falling into the easy trap of telling instead of showing. The end result is an artfully woven tale of love and loss and the healing that allows one to love again.This book is the first in a series. I find myself eager to read the next installment. I expect it to be well worth the wait.
