This is Kind of an Epic Love Story by Kheryn Callender is angst ridden YA romance at its finest. Nate is a movie lover and aspiring scriptwriter. He is maintaining a friendship with the girl he was previously in a relationship with, somewhat reluctantly (he sort of wishes they were still in a relationship) when Oliver James his childhood best friend (and first crush) returns. Nate, an overly reflective, somewhat pessimistic soul who does not believe in happy endings, struggles to find one with Oliver James.
The book is quite readable though the narrator is a little too “in his head” for my taste. I would recommend it to teens, or anyone, with a taste for weirdly sweet first love.
