A contemporary novel with the timeless theme of two young people falling in love. We follow them from teenagers in a small Irish town, to students at Dublin University. The agony and ecstasy, insecurities and awkwardness as their fascination develops and their very different personalities emerge. At times heartbreaking it is honest and believable. I was left wanting to know how their future lives will unfold, yet somehow knowing that they will always be shaped by the impact of their tender relationship. A young novelist to watch!
