I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review by the publisher on netgalley. This is a sweet coming of age story. It was slow to start but overall an enjoyable read. Charlie is done with school and trying to fill his time over the summer as he avoids his depressed father. Charlie meets a girl, Fran, who he wants to get to know but the trick is she wants him to join her in a summer production or Romeo and Juliet. Charlie has never been much for reading or school work but the play helps Charlie not only fill his time but figure out who he is. The book alternates between the summer Charlie was 16 and his current life two decades later. This was a sweet heartfelt tale.
