He was the first person to inspire her, to move her, to truly understand her. Was he meant to be the last?
Lucy is faced with a life-altering choice. But before she can make her
decision, she must start her story—their story—at the very beginning.
Lucy and Gabe meet as seniors at Columbia University on a day that
changes both of their lives forever. Together, they decide they want
their lives to mean something, to matter. When they meet again a year
later, it seems fated—perhaps they'll find life's meaning in each other.
But then Gabe becomes a photojournalist assigned to the Middle East and
Lucy pursues a career in New York. What follows is a thirteen-year
journey of dreams, desires, jealousies, betrayals, and, ultimately, of
love. Was it fate that brought them together? Is it choice that has kept
them away? Their journey takes Lucy and Gabe continents apart, but
never out of each other's hearts.
This devastatingly romantic debut novel about the enduring power of first love, with a shocking, unforgettable ending, is Love Story for a new generation.
