Publisher's summary

She is his student.

Sometimes...fate is forbidden.

Everything feels temporary when you've experienced tragedy - until Henna Lane meets Bodhi at a music festival. Young and spontaneous, they have a lust for seizing the moment, falling hard and fast. When Bodhi is forced to leave without a goodbye, Henna thinks she'll never get over him. But then she meets Mr. Malone, her sexy, new guidance counselor.

They are reckless. They are forbidden.

When their secret is discovered, Henna has to choose between finishing school - banned from seeing Mr. Malone - or dropping out to follow her nomad dreams. Henna chooses her dreams.

Life is not a destination or a journey. Some things are more than temporary. Forbidden can never be ignored. But if she returns for him, will he still be hers?

Contains mature themes.

Read this

I just recently discovered Jewel E. Ann books. This was by far not my first one though. I almost did not listen to this as a review talked about how immature the main character. I will say that this is true in the beginning and even to some sense throughout the entire book. However, there is growth in it. This book made me cry several times...but in the best way. You won't regret it...listen to it.

Beautiful

Gave this a chance and all I can say is OMG I loved and cried and sobbed. Won’t give it away but heartache all I can say but with HEA❤️

Absolutely adored

reread via audiobook- again I am left with tears in my eyes of the beauty of this story. So much heartbreak and angst, but I was completely put back together and then some. The narrators were great even if I didn’t feel like the male narrators voice didn’t match the character lol still amazing!

😭 this is so amazing! Absolutely beautiful

Bodhi & Henna forever 😭I absolutely loved this!!!!! It’s a mix between Colleen Hoovers Slammed and Jojo Moses’ Me Before You.

I’m still crying as I write this. I loved every single second of this. Henna was so lost and unsure of who she was when we first met her but by the end she’s no longer the shell of herself. Bodhi blames and punishes himself for his past, and only allows himself small moments of happiness. The character growth in both Bodhi and Henna was beautiful. The narrators did an amazing job at adding the emotion that was being portrayed in the story. Can’t recommend this enough 🥹🫶🏻

Jewel E Ann never disappoints

One of my favorite storytellers. Thanks for another wonderful and inspiring story of love and life.

A love story that will make you sob!

Loved the story and narration. The story at first is a little unbelievable at how quickly they fall in love, but my husband and I knew we would marry each other within 2 weeks and we were only 17 at the time, so it does happen!

The story has a great view of relationships with family members. I loved all the characters in the story. You will feel for all of them.

I hope lots of people will take a chance in reading/listening to this book. I loved it so much!!!

As excellent as the book, if not more, so!

I read and then reread this book a number of years ago. It is tragic, haunting, sweet and over the top with love and angst. However, as in usual Jewel E. Ann fashion this book just reaches out and grabs you by the heart.

Oh, the emotions!!

Although the female narrator’s reading seemed a little choppy sometimes instead of flowing, I felt like her voice fit Henna. This story was an emotional roller coaster for the characters and ME and I loved it. I couldn’t stop listening and was hard to take breaks.

I really enjoyed this..

Even though my chest was aching most of the time. A beautiful story of pain, guilt, love and forgiveness.

GET SOME THERAPY!

Neurotic.....seriously. Henna is a immature brat. Contained in a chill Gen Z shell. Get your GED already, and get on with your shit. Tedious, miscommunication central relationship.
Both characters, Henna and Bodhi need to grow the fuck up and get it together. I just can't respect Henna for all her "grownupness" she's just another hyper reactionary ____________ fill in the blank type assuming person. Sigh. FFS then....let's betray the boyfriend for the greater good. SERIOUSLY. It all ends well, but is a hot mess getting there.
