As Charlie Wyatt and Gloria Aboud recount their relationship--from strangers to stalkers to friends and, ultimately, to sweethearts--each comes to terms with grief: Gloria lost her older brother in the Afghan war and Charlie is losing his mother to Huntington's disease. Alternating chapters define otherwise indistinct voices, but romance readers and fans of television's Freaks and Geeks will be hooked nevertheless.
