Synopsis
He was the first person to inspire her, to move her, to truly understand her. Was he meant to be the last?
Lucy is faced with a life-altering choice. But before she can make her decision, she must start her story—their story—at the very beginning.
Lucy and Gabe meet as seniors at Columbia University on a day that changes both of their lives forever. Together, they decide they want their lives to mean something, to matter. When they meet again a year later, it seems fated—perhaps they’ll find life’s meaning in each other. But then Gabe becomes a photojournalist assigned to the Middle East and Lucy pursues a career in New York. What follows is a thirteen-year journey of dreams, desires, jealousies, betrayals, and, ultimately, of love. Was it fate that brought them together? Is it choice that has kept them away? Their journey takes Lucy and Gabe continents apart, but never out of each other’s hearts.
This devastatingly romantic debut novel about the enduring power of first love, with a shocking, unforgettable ending, is Love Story for a new generation.

C'est le coeur serré que je quitte Lucy et Gabe. Une histoire qui m'a transportée, qui parle des choix de vie, de rêves et d'amour. Une superbe plume pour accompagner cette belle histoire. Coup de coeur, comme je les aime!
L’histoire entre Gabe et Lucy n’a rien d’une histoire d’amour traditionnelle. Elle est faite de sacrifices, de renoncements, de temps qui passe et de distance. C’est un roman sur les choix de vie et les regrets. C’est sublime, bouleversant, et cela serre le coeur comme jamais.
Coup de foudre pour ce roman qui retrace l’histoire d’amour de Lucy et Gabe, pour les choix et les décisions qu’on prend pour accomplir nos rêves. Est-ce suffisant pour vivre et prétendre au bonheur ? Leur histoire est un roc, puissante et magnifique et il me sera très difficile de l’oublier.
Je suis ressortie chamboulée par ce récit bouleversant. Ce roman n’est pas une simple histoire d’amour car, il nous pousse à réfléchir sur l’impact de nos choix, sur les conséquences de nos décisions qui influent sur notre vie. Une lecture terriblement addictive.
