When Franklin "Fin" Ness makes up his mind it tends to stay made. Running, med school, and caring for his healing mother are things Fin never second-guesses. More stubborn than his mind, his heart picked Orion a long time ago. Seeing Orion again proves his heart is still invested, but his temper and fears about their past repeating have Fin wondering if following his heart is worth losing his mind. Musician and drifter Orion Starr expects ghosts at his mother's funeral in his rural Georgia town. He never expects one to be his former crush, Fin. Especially since he ghosted the guy in college. The surprises keep coming as Orion waits to spread his mother's ashes. He runs into friends, an old bully, and the cops, but the redheaded Fin threatens to make Orion do something he hasn't done in years -- look forward to the future. -- Back cover.

This is the story of two complicated characters. I really enjoyed getting to know them both. I was intrigued by their history from the very beginning, and their backstorys are teased and hinted at for quite a while, making me want to keep reading.
This story is about grief and lost. It contains a lot of pain and angst, and yet at the same time manages to be surprisingly soft. I really loved following both Fin and Orion's journeys and seeing their growth. I was rooting for them to deal with their problems the whole way, and I wasn't disappointed. There is so much love and hope in this story.
I really liked Orion's songwriting, and the little snapshots of lyrics in his chapters. I did get a bit confused at times by the way they both referred to their mothers by their first names, I don't know if that's a cultural thing or something unique to those characters.
This is a lovely book, that I really enjoyed reading. ( )
