Young Love by Suzanne Ewart - Reading Group Notes

For hearts that haven’t learned to protect themselves, can there be anything more powerful than young love?

Kelsey and Lewis have been best friends for ten years before, finally, he kisses her for the first time … And leaves for a job in New York the next day. Counting down the days until he comes back to Liverpool, Kelsey busies herself with a new job, a handful of forgettable dates and awkward, weekly catch-ups with her mum. Then the days turn into months. And the months turn into a year.

But that’s OK: all great love stories have bumps in the road. Right?

But something happened to Lewis on the night of their first kiss which changed everything. And when Kelsey learns the devastating truth, she has to make a choice. Should she keep pushing for her happy ending or give up on the love she thought would last forever?
