Jill Santopolo

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. A devastatingly romantic debut novel about the enduring power of first love, with a shocking, unforgettable ending.--

"I absolutely loved this book! The plot was amazing and the way that it was written to one of the characters just added to how good the book was. There was enough question and wonder in the plot as to what was going to happen next, and let me tell you…the ending is not what you expected. I would recommend this book to someone who tends to lean more to the romance side of things as opposed to anything else."
