"What if the first day of your relationship was the only day you had?
Seventeen-year-old Sara is a seeker. She’s always on the lookout for the perfect moment to capture with her ever-present, point-and-shoot camera, especially on her first trip to New York City.
Sam is a finder. He has a knack for finding what other people can’t—a first-edition book or the last two tickets to a sold-out Broadway show. In New York, there is always something interesting to find.
When Sam and Sara’s paths cross, neither one of them is prepared for what they will find out about each other—and about themselves when they form an unlikely partnership in search of a seemingly elusive work of art. They have one day to find the impossible. Fate brought their talents together, but what happens when time runs out? Will love be able to overcome fate? This new novel from award-winning author Lisa Mangum explores what happens after hello."
Sara is stuck wandering the streets of New York while her
father is in a meeting that runs late. She happens to run into Sam, and they
discover that they are kindred spirits, both holding wounds that they can help
each other heal. Sara accidently gets Sam’s brother fired from his job being
the personal assistant to an actress with anger management problems, and spend
the rest of her time in New York searching for a piece of art that will get
Paul his job back. I enjoyed the characters and setting of the novel and it
reminded me in small way of The Fault in
our Stars, except the novel was far less depressing, as the book is
ultimately not a tragedy, and has a happy ending. I guess the only problem I
had with the book is that I felt like the stakes to find the art weren’t high
enough personally for Sara. The book kind of slowed for me in the middle
because I had a hard time believing that Sara would go through all this trouble
and blow off her dad for some guy that was actually kind of a jerk to her when
they met. Still, over all I found this to be an interesting read.
