This book was about a boy that is getting ready to get married to the love of his life that takes a glance into the past at his first love and the events of around that time in his life. Charlie Lewis has parents that are separated and he lives with his father who is suffering from depression. His mother has moved on and lives with her boyfriend and has taken his younger sister with her. He has a part time job at a gas station under the table. One day, he has escaped from home and is reading when he meets someone who will change his life forever. Her name is Fran and she is part of a theatre troupe that is staging Romeo and Juliet that summer. He becomes part of the troupe to get closer to her and finds himself in many ways. As always, this author is amazing at character development and makes you really feel his writing. I will definitely be recommending this book to others. Thanks for the ARC, Net Galley.
