Praise for Althea and Oliver : "The bittersweet romance, Oliver's battle with his illness, and Althea's coming-of-age struggle should appeal to fans of John Green and Sarah Dessen who are looking for something new." - VOYA "Fans of Rainbow Rowell's Eleanor and Park will enjoy debut author Cristina Moracho's trip back to the 1990s in Althea and Oliver ." -CNN.com "A gut-wrenching tale." - People "Moracho's coming-of-age story carries rare insight and a keen understanding of those verging on adulthood." - Booklist , starred review "It is the exquisitely created and painfully real, pitch-perfect characters who make it so memorable." - SLJ , starred review "At turns gritty and gooey, Oliver and Althea's evolving relationship unfolds in a warts-and-all narration that alternates between the two, deftly capturing the purgatorial crossroads between youth and adulthood . . . Mesmerizing." - Kirkus Reviews , starred review "Can boys and girls really be just friends? This endearing novel explores that, and a whole lot of other things including but not limited to: falling in love, punk rock, circa-'90s NYC, and a very complicated sleep disorder that causes those afflicted to fall asleep for days, weeks, even months at a time." -TeenVogue.com "A gorgeous, glorious, unforgettable novel about punk rock, bad decisions, falling in love, and the messy beauty of growing up. Althea and Oliver is a flawlessly-crafted straight shot to the heart." -Sarah McCarry, author of All Our Pretty Songs "I can't wait to tell people about this one. It's mind-blowingly good." -Molly Templeton, WORD Books "Even if the book weren't eloquent and hilarious, it'd be a must-read for all children of the '90s. But thankfully, it is, and if you're smart, you'll run out and grab a copy." - Bustle "Go buy this book!

Synopsis
"The bittersweet romance, Oliver's battle with his illness, and Althea's coming-of-age struggle should appeal to fans of John Green and Sarah Dessen who are looking for something new." -- VOYA Althea Carter and Oliver McKinley have been best friends since they were six. Now, as their junior year of high school comes to a close, Althea has begun to want something more. Oliver simply wants life to go back to normal, but when he wakes up one morning with no memory of the past three weeks, he can't deny any longer that something is seriously wrong with him. Then Althea makes the worst decision ever, and her relationship with Oliver is shattered. When he leaves town for a clinical study in New York, she drives up the coast after him, determined to make up for what she's done. Cristina Moracho's extraordinary debut is an achingly real story about identity, illness, and love--and how one decision can change everything.
