"Reminiscent of William Styron and Pat Conroy but with the sexual heat and obsessiveness of Scott Spenser's Endless Love, this is a spellbinding love story from a young writer of extraordinary gifts." Payne's shimmering writing reminds me so much of Andre Aciman in Eight White Nights, but more reachable, less into the game of love. A novel this beautiful evokes a past time, but also a state of boyhood that is timeless. This is a story of grief, of love, leaving childhood, and of joy. I love the Outer Banks so much and this book brings me right to that place, more than any other book I've read. This is in the top of my list of favorite books ever.
