Daughtry and Lippincott ( Five Feet Apart) have crafted a fairy tale romance for readers who believe in second and third chances, as well as improbable but destined love. With no last name, no apparent school affiliation, a tragic backstory, and a knack for telling wise, poignant stories, Marley seemingly embodies a variant of a trope: the shy pixie dream girl. As the duo become friends, former football star Kyle realizes how self-involved he was and begins falling in love with Marley. Feeling lost and guilty, Kyle visits Kim’s grave and meets Marley, who is pretty, reticent, and endlessly kind. Instead, she breaks up with him for good, and they end up in an accident that leaves Kim dead and Kyle with head injuries and nightmares. The plan was that Kyle would give his longtime girlfriend Kim a charm bracelet, she would stop being so distant, and they would go off to college together.
