YA
Seventeen-year-old Griffin has lost Theo twice: first when the young men broke up, and again, as the book opens, when Theo drowns. Dual timelines carry readers through the characters' finely drawn romance (and its dissolution) and Griffin's heartbreaking journey through the grieving process; both narratives are informed by Griffin's struggles with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Silvera's prose is raw but lyrical, a good fit for Griffin's intensity.
