Before We Were Strangers by Renee Carlino

 Grace and Matt met during their senior year at NYU. They became quick friends, formed a strong bond and feel in love. College graduation, career choices and life put them on different paths.  

15 years later, Matt and Grace's eye lock as Grace's train pulls away from the subway station. Matt finds himself going down memory lane and posts a message on missed connections on Craigs List. This ultimately results in Grace and Matt reconnecting. 

Their story is told in past and present tense from each others perspective. Their young love is reminiscent of most young loves - full of magic, wonder and pure sweetness. There is also the mix of heartache and self discovery. 

Be prepared to go on an emotional roller case and to be FURIOUS with Grace! Carlino writes a beautiful story that will pull you in and keep you turning the pages.
