Dean Amory, author of the critically acclaimed coming of age novel "Young Love, A Schoolyard Love Story", returns with a poignant, striking sequel that skilfully captures the singular experience of being a teenager: "Young Love, First Love's Shadow".
Dean Amory chronicles the hero's life through the thrills, heartbreaks, joy and despair of the final year in high school and the consecutive transition to a labour environment. After the traumatic end of the school year, Sean leaves for the Flemish seaside resort Ostend, where he will work at hotel Brabant during the summer holiday. Away from Katherine, he opens up again, meets new people and falls in love again but past experiences are haunting him and he must face some hard truths about himself. Torn between old dreams and new hopes, he questions himself and the rules he's always lived by. By the time he returns home after the summer holiday, he feels reborn and ready to face the world.
But is he also ready to face Katherine? When she broke up, she had a simple plan: put studies before love and return to Sean after graduating from high school only. Seeing how Sean has distanced himself from her, she realizes she is running the risk of losing him completely and invites him to reunite with her until the end of the school year, at which point she wants to re evaluate her life. Are second chances really possible? Can recreating the past help the young couple to create a different future? And is Sean even willing to accept her terms?
In this imaginative, surprising and complex page-turner, which will certainly appeal to all fans of young adult and new adult romance novels, Dean Amory has brought a vivid, clever and heartfelt portrayal of what it's like to be a teenager in love. "Young Love Part 2, First Love's Shadow" is a gripping story in which the distance between lost and found is often less than a text line long.
