Best friends Althea Lux and Felix Reano have known each other all their lives. But just as they're about to enter high school-and just after finding out they both like each other-Althea's family receives unexpected words and moves to England, taking her away from her best friend and all she's ever known. The two keep correspondence through letters-a less-than-modern approach, all to the fault of Althea's love of history. The story you are about to read is told mostly through letters and text messages, telling the story of two best friends separated by thousands upon thousands of nautical miles of water.
