Harun is a gay Muslim teenager in New York who has just been outed to his family, Nathalie is a former child star whose brief fame disappeared after a scandal and who is stuck in a public humiliation, and Freddie is a boy grieving after his boyfriend died. Their paths cross in Times Square when one of them is in danger. Gayle Forman follows the three characters through the same day, moving between their perspectives.
Teen readers who like stories about grief, identity and unexpected friendship will be at home here. It is a short novel about how strangers can step in when families and the past have failed someone.
Inward-looking and thought-provoking; an easy read.
Best for readers like The Empathetic Explorer. Which reader are you?
