Sinossi
La forza dell'amore a sedici anni è dirompente: ti sconvolge, ti fa volare e a volte, quando tutto il resto sembra andare a rotoli, ti salva la vita. Ma può anche distruggerti. È quello che capita a Lizzie quando un giorno Roman - la sua àncora, il suo amico, la sua boccata d'ossigeno - scompare senza lasciare traccia. Dodici anni dopo, quando ormai la sua vita scorre placida, sostenuta da tante piccole rassicuranti certezze, Lizzie riceve una lettera. È di Roman, ed è datata dicembre 2005: il giorno stesso in cui di lui si erano perse le tracce. All'improvviso i ricordi dolorosi riemergono e con essi le promesse infrante del loro amore. La lettera diventa l'unica traccia da seguire per scoprire cosa sia successo a Roman. Una caccia al tesoro piena di imprevisti, incontri e colpi di scena, per ricostruire la verità di una vita lasciata a metà e di una storia che non ha mai trovato lo spazio per sbocciare. Un mistero che porta con sé la speranza di un nuovo inizio.

Lia Louis has quickly become a favourite author. I already treasure the two books she has published so far, and am excited for more. I will dog ear these two for now, and reread them to death.

I just finished it and oh, this was a journey. I cried, I was melancholic, I was happy. I loved how it deals with mental health so it's not a light read but it's still positive.

A very impressive debut novel, that delves into mental health and some other issues, while also being a journey of trying to rediscover yourself. It's the story of Lizzie and Roman who were incredibly close when they were teens, until Roman just disappeared out of her life 13 years ago. She has had
I found this touching and funny novel quite different to what I expected, I suppose I thought it would be a HEA/romance book but actually it's very poignant, very funny and an accurate portrayal of being a young adult, making mistakes and going through life-changing circumstances. It covers many gri Leggi tutto
Such a beautiful book to start the year off with. It's impossible to not fall in love with the characters, and the story is beautiful and inspiring from start to finish.
There was so much to love about this book, from the intriguing premise to the warmth and sensitivity of Lia's writing, which reminded me of Jojo Moyes. As an 80s kid, I loved the 90s references and the laugh-out-loud humour throughout. The characters were hugely relatable and I found myself willing
