Gayle Forman: Two Thousand Hours of Us, Gebunden

Klappentext

How long must love last in order to change your life? In this swoony, emotional YA romance from Gayle Forman, #1 New York Times bestselling author of If I Stay, what begins as a spark of attraction becomes an unforgettable first love, one filled with irresistible chemistry, tender intimacy, and the electric feeling of finally being understood.

Maybe I loved you from the moment I met you...

Nicolette feels like she's stuck in the waiting room of life, but that ends this summer. Instead of heading off to college, she takes a job at a quirky health food store and bonds quickly with the hippies, punks, and oddballs that work there.

For the first time, it feels like she's building a life that's actually her own, and experiencing the kind of acceptance from her found family that she can't always count on at home. There's even a possible romance on the horizon with the motorcycle boy she's been crushing on for weeks.

So why can't she stop thinking about her coworker Gideon? Mysterious, charming, and deeply kind, Gideon sees Nicolette in a way no one else ever has. Unlike most people, Gideon doesn't hide how he feels--especially how he feels for her--and with him Nicolette is understood, wanted, and completely herself. Their chemistry is undeniable, and every hour they spend together only makes it harder to imagine being apart.

But as the summer unfolds, Nicolette discovers that loving someone doesn't always mean knowing everything about them. Even the most powerful connection can be tested by the truths people hide, the burdens they carry, and the realities they can't escape. When the life she thought they were building together suddenly begins to slip away, she must decide what it really means to love someone, and how to move forward when everything seems lost.

This is Gayle Forman at her most tender and true: a dreamy, bittersweet YA romance about first love, first heartbreak, and the unforgettable people who shape us forever.
