Carlino (The Last Post, 2019) has written an exquisite novel about love and the pain that comes with divorce and loss. Dani and Alex were madly in love--until they weren't. Told from alternating perspectives, the novel allows Dani and Alex to explain exactly how they despise each other in their own words. With two teenage boys in the mix, these characters don't walk into divorce lightly. Sharing custody, they decide to have a nesting apartment so as not to disrupt their sons' lives, and they switch off living in their house and taking care of the boys. Dani brings her extensive record collection to the apartment, where she writes memories on the album covers. During their time at the apartment, both Dani and Alex listen to the records, read Dani's memories, and are transported back to a time when they were falling in love. However, their rekindled love is cut short by some devastating news. This heartbreaking novel will have Tracey Garvis Graves' readers hanging on every word.
