[Jacqui Hopkins · Rating 4 out of 5]

This novella is more than story - it's like a series of vivid memories. It's about unrequited passion and all the anxieties and inconsistencies that come with young love. (I'm also very fond of the author - Alison you rock! So grateful for you and the Workshop!)Shameless plug: www.philawordshop.com
