The Reckless Oath We Made

A new provocative love story from the New York Times bestselling author of All the Ugly and Wonderful Things.

"The story of Zee and Gentry is the reason we read." --Brunonia Barry

Their journey will break them--or save them.

A moving and complicated love story for our time, The Reckless Oath We Made redefines what it means to be heroic. Zee has never admitted to needing anybody. But she needs Gentry. Her tough exterior shelters a heart that's loyal to the point of self-destruction, while autistic Gentry wears his heart on his sleeve, including his desire to protect Zee at all costs. When an abduction tears Zee's family apart, she turns to Gentry--and sets in motion a journey and a love that will change their lives forever.

"[A] mind-blowing book that has left me scrambling to pick up the pieces of my brain and my shattered heart . . . Prepare to have your mind and heart expanded to their limits." --The Oklahoman

At first, I was not captivated. The main characters were sort of anti-heroes. However the book was quite good. It’s hard initially to find the main characters likable, but in the end, I enjoyed the story and it has stayed with me in a powerful way.. Give it a chance. Not all that glitters is gold.
