If life were reasonable, Jam Gallahue would still be at house in New Jersey with her lovely British boyfriend, Reeve Maxfield. She’d become watching old humor sketches with him. She’d end up being kissing him in the library stacks.

She certainly wouldn’t be in the Wooden Barn, a therapeutic boarding college in rural Vermont, coping with a weird roommate, and signed up for an exclusive, mysterious class called Special Topics in English.

But lifestyle isn’t fair, and Reeve Maxfield is inactive.

Until a journal-writing assignment qualified prospects Jam to Belzhar, where in fact the untainted past is restored, and Jam can feel Reeve’s arms around her once more. But you will find concealed truths on Jam’s path to reclaim her reduction.

From NY Times bestselling author Meg Wolitzer comes a breathtaking and surprising story about initial love, deep sorrow, and the power of acceptance.
