This author never disappoints me. This is her 4th book, and I‘ve loved each one in different ways and for different reasons. This Teen/YA novel centers around high schoolers Nova and Sam who serendipitously meet back up 12 years after being neighbors and best friends as 5-year-olds. They have never forgotten each other as they each served a purpose in the other‘s childhood…Nova gave Sam a safe place and friendship as he struggled with abuse and 🔻

robinb Sam was a safe stabilizer in Nova‘s constantly changing world (her mom moved repeatedly for jobs). As they begin to reconnect, there are still challenges and unknowns to face. Nova will be moving again in 2 months and feels lost and unsure about who she is and what she wants for her future, and Sam doesn‘t want to face conflict and change in his current relationships/future plans. This was such a sweet story about friendship, family and fate. 🔻 14mo
robinb I did get a bit peeved with Sam on his handling of one relationship, but he grew and gained courage/confidence to figure it out. The ending was the cutest…loved it. It would appear that Schumacher is now an auto-buy for me now. 4.5/5⭐️ 14mo
