After meeting at their private school in New York, fifteen-year-old Jeremiah, who is black and whose parents are separated, and Ellie, who is white and whose mother has twice abandoned her, fall in love and then try to cope with people's reactions.
Beautiful and heartbreaking.
Even while anticipating the resolution, it was a gut-punch.
