"A beautiful, lyrical, and achingly brilliant story about love, grief,
and family. Henry's writing will leave you breathless." **--BuzzFeed **
Romeo and Juliet meets One Hundred Years of Solitude in Emily Henry's
brilliant follow-up to The Love That Split the World, about the
daughter and son of two long-feuding families who fall in love while
trying to uncover the truth about the strange magic and harrowing curse
that has plagued their bloodlines for generations.
In their hometown of Five Fingers, Michigan, the O'Donnells and the
Angerts have mythic legacies. But for all the tall tales they weave,
both founding families are tight-lipped about what caused the
century-old rift between them, except to say it began with a cherry
tree.
Eighteen-year-old Jack "June" O'Donnell doesn't need a better reason
than that. She's an O'Donnell to her core, just like her late father
was, and O'Donnells stay away from Angerts. Period.
But when Saul Angert, the son of June's father's mortal enemy, returns
to town after three mysterious years away, June can't seem to avoid him.
Soon the unthinkable happens: She finds she doesn't exactly hate the
gruff, sarcastic boy she was born to loathe.
Saul's arrival sparks a chain reaction, and as the magic, ghosts, and
coywolves of Five Fingers conspire to reveal the truth about the dark
moment that started the feud, June must question everything she knows
about her family and the father she adored. And she must decide whether
it's finally time for her--and all of the O'Donnells before her--to let
go.
