“A romance for the ages…one perfect little novel.” —Stacey Lee, award-winning author of The Downstairs Girl

The Sun Is Also a Star meets Outlander in this “unforgettable and artfully crafted romance” (Julie Murphy, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Dumplin’) about two teens who relive their tragic love story over and over until they uncover what they must do to change their fate.

Tamar is a musician, a warrior, a survivor. Fayard? He’s a pioneer, a hustler, a hopeless romantic.

Together, Tamar and Fayard have lived a thousand lives, seen the world build itself up from nothing only to tear itself down again in civil war. They’ve even watched humanity take to the stars. But in each life one thing remains the same: their love and their fight to be together. One love story after another. Their only concern is they never get to see how their story ends. Until now.

When they finally discover what it will take to break the cycle, will they be able to make the sacrifice?

Critic reviews

"Narrators Joniece Abbott–Pratt and Landon Woodson’s transformative performances take listeners through time as two teenagers fall in love over multiple lifetimes. Woodson is emotive and upbeat as Fayard, who lives his many lives with reckless abandon. In contrast, Abbott–Pratt gives a more reserved and subtle performance as Tamar, who struggles to put her well-being first in her various lives. The narrators expertly alter their performances as the teens cycle through lifetimes; they effortlessly take on the rhythmic accent of precolonial Africa, the fast-paced delivery of the 1920s, and the laid-back tone of modern times. The pair give a stunning performance that highlights their ability to play with nuance and cadence to evoke the unique settings in this genre-defying love story."

Loved it!

This is a great book about young love that spans time! It's perfect for young adults but can serve as reminder to seasoned folks that love is infinite!

Slow but Good

I love the Narrators. Janice's voice makes the book come alive. The story was good in the beginning but dropped off in the middle . Took too long to make the connections. seemed like a bit too much useless information. But it picked up and was worth wading through. Overall I really enjoyed this book.

Interesting Story

This was an interesting story....I think the basic moral of the story was true love will always find it's way back to you....The story showed how the couple always found their way to one another whenever and wherever they were in their lives. The story did a bit of time traveling from the 1300's all the way to 2032.....Some of the details in the story was a bit far fetched...but this was a decent story...The narration was outstanding.

Awesome Read!

Unique Storyline, very engaging and creative... I was thoroughly entertained! Great for older teens and beyond.
