I love Gayle Forman. I have read every novel that she has written. With each one, she just keeps getting better. This is the story of three young adults who meet by accident in Central Park and end up spending the day together through a series of events. All three of the teens, Freya, Nathanial and Harun have recently suffered a loss and are experiencing pain in different ways. Somehow they manage to come together and help each other. The path their day takes is emotionally charged and initially sad, but together as three, they are stronger and help heal each other without realizing it. Forman has managed to weave several current issues into her story including mental health, coming out to an ethnic family and the pressures of rising as an internet star. Beautiful, poetic, and brilliant teaching us about the importance of friendship, family, love, loss and looking to the future. I absolutely loved this book. Thank you so much for the ARC!!
