Publisher Description

As children, Jennifer Harris and Cameron Quick were both social outcasts. They were also one another's only friend. So when Cameron disappears without warning, Jennifer thinks she's lost the only person who will ever understand her. Now in high school, Jennifer has been transformed. Known as Jenna, she's popular, happy, and dating, everything "Jennifer" couldn't be---but she still can't shake the memory of her long-lost friend. When Cameron suddenly reappears, they are both confronted with memories of their shared past and the drastically different paths their lives have taken. From the National Book Award nominated author of Story of a Girl, Sweethearts is a story about the power of memory, the bond of friendship, and the quiet resilience of our childhood hearts.

"This is the second Sara Zarr book I've read and the second time I've been touched by her stories. They are well crafted and thought provoking. She seems to find an unexplored angle of teenage life. In Sweethearts, she rekindles a childhood relationship and explores all the emotions and difficulties of growing up. I appreciated that she tackled abuse without creating a horrible situation the reader had to endure. Her "children" escaped the abuse. At least the worst of it."

    " Amazing. I Cried. ._. Hard. I Cried Hard. And I Cry At Books Because They Take Me Into A Different World. :D Well This One Deffently Did. In A Good Way Though. I Loved It. And It Was Just Great. No Need For Words. "

    " This was by far one of the best books I have ever read. Cameron and Jennifer's relationship was beautifully vivid and the end of the book had me in tears. Not what you would expect from a typical teen romance novel. Sweethearts will continue to stay in your heart long after you've read the book. "

    " I read this book in one long car ride. It left me asking questions and I was really touched by this story, surprisingly. It was a breath of fresh air in the bookstore shelves that are overpopulated with vampires and high school cliques. "

    " I have a feeling this book is going to be one of a few that will haunt me and keep me thinking. It is, in its own way, a love story, but not a traditional one and one that forces you to reconsider everything. Fabulous, true, and heart wrenching. "

    " I liked elements of this book but it didn't quite hang together or flesh out. Characters are pretty flat but notes she hits about friends and parents ring true - like her perspective on being a non-Mormon in Utah too. "
