We cant choose who we lovebut can we choose to let go Nina de Gramont, author of The Boy I Love and Every Little Thing in the World, writes a most unusual love story in this must-read (Kirkus Review) that is beautiful and poetic, forbidden and radicaland utterly irresistible.

Stepsiblings Tressa and Luke have been close since they were littleand when they become teenagers, they slip from being best friends to being something more. Their relationship makes everyone around them uncomfortable, but they cantwontdeny their connection. Nothing can keep them apart.

Not even death. Luke is killed in a horrible, tragic accident, and Tressa is suddenly and desperately alone. Unable to outrun the waves of grief and guilt and longing, she is haunted by thoughts of suicide. And then she is haunted by Luke himself.

He visits only at night. But when hes with her, its almost like the accident never happened. Oh, there are reminders, from the way she can only feel him when he touches the scars on her wrist, to how she cant seem to tell him about life since hes been gone. As long as theyre together, though, the restit fades away.

But during the day it is Tressa who cant grasp hold of the people around her. The same people who never wanted her and Luke together in the first place are determined to help her move on. Determined to help her heal. They just dont understandone misstep, one inch forward, could leave Luke behind forever.
