About the book
“I remember the movement of his hips pressing against the pinball machine. This one sentence had me in its grip until the end. Two young men find each other, always fearing that life itself might be the villain standing in their way. A stunning and heart-gripping tale.” —André Aciman, author of Call Me by Your Name
A New York Times Book Review Editor’s Choice
The critically acclaimed, internationally beloved novel by Philippe Besson—“this year’s Call Me By Your Name” (Vulture) with raves in The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Wall Street Journal,NPR, Vanity Fair, Vogue, O, The Oprah Magazine, and Out—about an affair between two teenage boys in 1984 France, translated with subtle beauty and haunting lyricism by the iconic and internationally acclaimed actress and writer Molly Ringwald.
In this “sexy, pure, and radiant story” (Out), Philippe chances upon a young man outside a hotel in Bordeaux who bears a striking resemblance to his first love. What follows is a look back at the relationship he’s never forgotten, a hidden affair with a boy named Thomas during their last year of high school. Thomas is the son of a farmer; Philippe the son of a school principal. At school, they don’t acknowledge each other. But they steal time to meet in secret, carrying on a passionate, world-altering affair.
Despite the intensity of their attraction, from the beginning Thomas knows how it will end: “Because you will leave and we will stay,” he says. Philippe becomes a writer and travels the world, though as this “tender, sensuous novel” (The New York Times Book Review) shows, he never lets go of the relationship that shaped him, and every story he’s ever told.
“Beautifully translated by Ringwald” (NPR), this is “Philippe Besson’s book of a lifetime...an elegiac tale of first, hidden love” (The New Yorker).

But Oliver is no Romeo, and only a fool would fall for him.
Worryingly, I think that fool might be me.

About the book
Troy died before he had the chance to break my heart. Somehow that made it worse.
Fifteen years as Fairlake's chief of police and I've gotten good at keeping my head down and my personal life nonexistent. Then Ethan Crane shows up at my station with a press pass, a smile that short-circuits my better judgment, and more nerve than anyone I've met in twenty years of police work. He's twenty-something, reckless, and already driving me insane.
He's also exactly what I need. I've got a drug operation running through the woods outside town and no clean way to investigate it without tipping them off. Ethan's spent his career embedding himself in the world's worst situations to drag the truth into the light.
His idea of quietly is a fake relationship.
His car in my driveway. His name tangled up with mine in the town gossip. A cover story that gives him access and gives me a reason to keep him close.
The problem is I'm a bad liar. And somewhere between the banter and the late nights and the way he looks at me like I'm worth figuring out, the fake part stops being accurate.
I buried what I felt for Troy and built a life around the absence of it. Ethan isn't asking me to dig that up.
He's just asking if I'm willing to let something in.
