A romantically entangled stepbrother and stepsister in Los Angeles navigate their tumultuous history and take their relationship to new levels in this translated title by an Argentinian author.Nick and Noah are madly in love: Their mutual attraction is established as the book opens with Noah's 18th birthday party, during which she and Nick have an explicitly described sexual encounter behind the pool house. This fiery scene sets the stage for twists and turns in the lovers' journey, including a separation when Noah is forced to go on a monthlong mother-daughter European tour. But reminders of their pasts (chronicled in the 2023 series opener, My Fault) threaten to undermine their stability. Nick's wealthy estranged mother makes an unfortunate appearance, while Noah is haunted by the trauma of her father's violent death. The blend of everyday complications (jealousy, parental disapproval) with frothy visions of high-society life is at once lacking in subtlety and intimately irresistible. The series initially gained popularity on Wattpad, and the novel follows the episodic structure typical of works on that site; sensual encounters occur at reliable intervals. Still, the characters and their milieu feel formulaic, and the writing is stilted. The differences between the two-Nick is five years older and has an office job; Noah has just finished high school-makes their suffocatingly possessive relationship feel particularly squirm-worthy. Nick and Noah and their families read white.Plenty of heat but not enough substance to keep the fire burning. (Romance. 16-18)
