A Little in Love by Susan Fletcher (author)

What if… Les Mis doomed waif Eponine had her own tear-jerking tale of tragic love? Now she does. Eat chocolate. Blub your heart out. Paris, 1832. A street-girl lies alone in the darkness, her life draining away. She is clutching a love note to her heart. What is Eponine’s story? As a child, she knew the swing and the peach tree and her little brother. But never kindness. Except from one girl: Cosette. Now the girls’ paths have crossed again, in a time of violence and danger. They have fallen for the same boy. Are love and friendship worth the ultimate sacrifice? Utterly gorgeous from start to finish, with beautiful scarlet edges and romantic stencil designs. Magical writing by a top author who doesn’t waste a single word or emotion. We heart it enough to take a bullet for it.
