A compulsively readable story about how grief, love and the poignant beauty of life intertwine, from an outstanding debut novelist.
Cara's world broke when her younger brother, Si, died in a car crash. Three months later, she's trying to find her way back, when she meets Nathan. Gorgeous, smart and kind, she feels a freedom when she's with him. But he's hiding a huge secret. His world broke three months ago too - when he ran a red light and killed a boy.
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!" - 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." - Author of Ellie Pillai is Brown
