I was immediately captured by this story of Rosie and Will. Both high school students, Rosie and Will are from different sides of the tracks, with Rosie being the one with the more stable life alongside her twin Josh. Will has the rougher life with him and his sister Amber being cared for by his grandmother after his mother takes off. 

After these two make tentative steps toward getting together in high school, a confession and subsequent tragedy tear them apart. When they go in different directions after high school, will they ever come back together? 

If you get frustrated by novels where the main characters don't tell each other their true feelings, then you might not want to pick this one up. So much of the angst in this one could have been prevented by a heart-to-heart conversation. 

This has been compared to ONE DAY, and I find that's a very apt comparison.
