Publisher's summary

Orphaned Carmen is sixteen, newly homeless and will do almost anything to survive and keep her and her kid brother safe, together, and out of foster care. Ollie, also sixteen, has a life that's all about parents, school pressure, friends, and dreams of summer. The two fall into each other's orbit, and one kiss changes everything. Ollie is captivated . . . but then Carmen vanishes. When they cross paths months later, everything is different.

A young adult queer romance that looks at what we're prepared to sacrifice for those we care about.

Contains mature themes.

Slow start, but glad I stuck with it

narration was lacking. no inflection of tone. the internal dialogue is a little heavy, and sometimes it felt like there was too much description in the scenes. nonetheless, the story is heartwrenching and the overall takeaway is that this is a great book. i enjoyed reading it once I pushed through the beginning

Heartbreaking at times, but well written

G. Benson is an author that I trust to tell stories that have characters going through tough times and finding love. Pieces is a great example of characters struggling through hard choices and making difficult decisions while finding love. Another excellent story.

Great story

I loved It. Complex characters you can relate to with a moving story line that made me keep listening for hours. Immediately after it was over I added it to my list of favorites.

Perfect Title! T

Very touching story. Growing up my family shared our home with many children in the foster care system and this story is very true when it comes to children in the system. My hope is many more folks with a good heart will open their homes as so many children are left behind. Thank you for this story and bringing these type of issues to light.
