Todo el mundo cree conocer a Libby, aunque nadie se ha parado a pensar cómo es ella realmente, más allá de su aspecto y de su peso. También todos creen conocer a Jack, ese muchacho encantador que oculta un profundo secreto. Cuando una cruel jugarreta los enfrenta, los dos van a descubrir que la soledad compartida es menos solitaria. Son dos adolescentes rotos: de corazón a corazón porque lo único que importa es querer y que te quieran por lo que realmente eres. Una historia de amor diferente, rompedora, intensa y muy emotiva.
The summer after senior year should have been a time for Cam to party and hang out with his friends. It should also have been a time for him to win back the love of his life, Allison Tandy, who'd dumped him so brutally the year before.
But it quickly becomes clear that this summer is going to be worse than a failure for Cam. It's going to be a tragedy.
Ally is left comatose after a terrible car crash, then Cam tears his ACL in a basketball accident. The operation leaves him in agony, confined to his couch and ruminating over the fact that his ex may not survive.
But when (after taking his medication) Cam starts seeing Ally, he starts to think: 1. He may be headed for a complete mental breakdown and 2. This summer might just be interesting afterall.
Brimming with honesty and humor, A Heavy Dose of Allison Tandy interrogates how much control we really have over matters of love—and life.
