Fiction. Literature. HTML:From the best-selling author of One Day comes a bittersweet and brilliantly funny coming-of-age tale about the heart-stopping thrill of first loveâ??and how just one summer can forever change a life.

Now: On the verge of marriage and a fresh start, thirty-eight year old Charlie Lewis finds that he can't stop thinking about the past, and the events of one particular summer.

Then: Sixteen-year-old Charlie Lewis is the kind of boy you don't remember in the school photograph. He's failing his classes. At home he looks after his depressed fatherâ??when surely it should be the other way roundâ??and if he thinks about the future at all, it is with a kind of dread.

But when Fran Fisher bursts into his life and despite himself, Charlie begins to hope.

In order to spend time with Fran, Charlie must take on a challenge that could lose him the respect of his friends and require him to become a different person. He must join the Company. And if the Company sounds like a cult, the truth is even more appalling: The price of hope, it seems, is Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet learned and performed in a theater troupe over the course of a summer.

Now: Charlie can't go the altar without coming to terms with his relationship with Fran, his friends, and his former self. Poignant, funny, enchanting, devastating, Sweet Sorrow is a tragicomedy about the rocky path to adulthood and the confusion of family life, a celebration of the reviving power of friendship and that brief, searing explosion of first love that can only be looked at directly after it has bu

His writing is beautiful ( )

First love in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and between two 16-year old players with The Full Fathom Five Theatre Co-operative during a warm summer. The highs and lows of a romance are highlighted and how family life interfers with the lovers bubble. The narrator, Charlie, is looking back at this summer that was so important for him. His family is breaking up, he has walked out of some of his GCSEs and his friends have rejected him. There is a lot to like here. ( )

Love Nicholl's intelligence and sense of humor. Charming, insightful, touching. ( )

audiobook fiction (bildungsroman=coming of age - child of divorce left to take care of father with severe depression, teen boy develops a crush on a girl in a youth theater group in late 1990s)

This is so beautifully written I kept thinking, wait--is this a true story? But then had to remind myself it's a novel with very lifelike characters. The narrator's ([a:Rory Kinnear|4503082|Rory Kinnear|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png]) delivery made me chuckle out loud, though the story does drag a wee bit towards the end after the couple has broken up (hence the title). I would listen to this book more than once, and I will be recommending it to others. ( )
