'The bittersweet romance, Oliver s battle with his illness, and Althea s coming-of-age struggle should appeal to fans of John Green and Sarah Dessen who are looking for something new. ' VOYA Althea Carter and Oliver McKinley have been best friends since they were six. Now, as their junior year of high school comes to a close, Althea has begun to want something more. Oliver simply wants life to go back to normal, but when he wakes up one morning with no memory of the past three weeks, he can t deny any longer that something is seriously wrong with him. Then Althea makes the worst decision ever, and her relationship with Oliver is shattered. When he leaves town for a clinical study in New York, she drives up the coast after him, determined to make up for what she s done. Cristina Moracho s extraordinary debut is an achingly real story about identity, illness, and love and how one decision can change everything.
