"The 1990s-set flashbacks capture the carefree spirit of the
era and are full of references to iconic bands and venues,
contrasting effectively with adult Skye’s complex
entanglements with both Aaron and Zane, and her desire to give
Montana a better life. Readers of character-driven relationship
fiction will be drawn into Skye’s story." – Booklist

intense, imperfect bond yields to more expansive
resilience." – Foreword Reviews
A Katie Couric Must-Read of 2022

Haupt asks what it means to atone, to survive grief both alone and
together, to stand on one's own feet as a woman who has been hurt
or as a man who has done harm."
– Gina Frangello, bestselling author of A Life in
Men and Every Kind of Wanting
"A tender novel of messy relationships linked by love and
tragedy. From the smoky bars of 1990's Seattle to the

weaves together threads of regret and forgiveness into a
warm-hearted tale of moving forward."
–Luisa Smith, Buying Director, Book Passages, San
Francisco, CA
