About this ebook
A new provocative love story from the New York Times bestselling author of All the Ugly and Wonderful Things.
“The story of Zee and Gentry is the reason we read.” —Brunonia Barry
Their journey will break them—or save them.
A moving and complicated love story for our time, The Reckless Oath We Made redefines what it means to be heroic. Zee has never admitted to needing anybody. But she needs Gentry. Her tough exterior shelters a heart that’s loyal to the point of self-destruction, while autistic Gentry wears his heart on his sleeve, including his desire to protect Zee at all costs. When an abduction tears Zee’s family apart, she turns to Gentry—and sets in motion a journey and a love that will change their lives forever.
“[A] mind-blowing book that has left me scrambling to pick up the pieces of my brain and my shattered heart . . . Prepare to have your mind and heart expanded to their limits.” —The Oklahoman

I literally need more. I have read everything Bryn Greenwood has written and I cannot pace myself so I usually finish a book within 2 days. This took me a bit to get into but once I did, I could not put it down. I talked liked Gentry for an entire day. 👏👏👏

Great read! If you explain this story, it will sound simple yet interesting.. autistic guy, and 'white trash' girl lost in life who smokes/sells pot and doesn't know her own value find each other. But it's a full, rich story of characters who have depth, struggle, & learn on a misadventure. If her bk 'All the Ugly and Wonderful Things', made you too uncomfortable, this will probably be better suited. I enjoyed both.

the ending seemed a little rushed, but still enjoyed it(although not as much as All the Ugly and Wonderful Things)
