A tender young adult novel about first love-and the day the world ended it. Charlie Peters is fifteen. Basketball. Barn hoops. Backflips off the dock. He's doing everything right. Then he notices Helen Sharon. What grows between them is not a fling or a dare. It is real: quiet, innocent, and unbreakable. They talk about gardens and shoe closets and a future no one else believes in. But in a small town, spring comes early and rumors travel fast.
One night changes everything. One morning steals their future. Told entirely through Charlie's raw journal entries, Too Early Spring is a heartbreaking story about holding onto the one thing the world wants to take from you: the truth."We were just two people who loved each other. That's all. And they smashed it forever. But it wasn't the way they said."
