True love can change a person’s cellular makeup, it seems to me, but it takes many leaps of faith and a whole lot of trust to get there! The novel is told from alternating points of view—first Wren’s and then Charlie’s, and so on—because it seemed like the best way to tell the story, for one thing, but also because this is a story of two worlds: a young woman’s and a young man’s. When Wren and Charlie fall in love, they want nothing more than to get close to each other and understand each other, and the dual perspective hopefully allows the reader to get as close as possible to both of them as well. Something else I should share: This book has sex in it. It’s not about sex, not exclusively, and I’m more interested in the mingling of Charlie’s and Wren’s souls than in the ways their bodies come together. But Charlie and Wren are eighteen, and their souls are housed in their bodies, and guess what? Their bodies are pretty awesome. (Charlie, I can tell you, is frickin’ gorgeous.) So, yeah, sex is part of the mix, and I trust that you, and teen readers, can handle it.
