Quick Assessment

Juliet and Lucas are falling in love, but Lucas keeps describing memories of moments that have not happened yet, and those memories grow more troubling as the story goes on. Teens will find a romance about dating, emotional worry, and a relationship tested by fear of losing someone. Romantic content is limited to affection and a first kiss, and the tone is anxious rather than graphic.
