Partial Truths -- Shahed Ghanimati, Paperback

A breakup. A car accident. A kind gesture. Partial Truths explores the consequences of meeting the perfect person at the worst possible time. Camila and Ben-both in graduate school-meet in a UCLA Spanish class and become fast friends. He is enamored by her bohemian upbringing in a Mexican-Persian family, and she is charmed by his integrity and thoughtfulness. As both begin to feel the pull of romance, Camila learns of Ben's secret.

Choices are made and lines are crossed, changing the trajectory of their lives until their paths cross again ten years later. Partial Truths is a love story for all those who've ever wondered: What if I had chosen another path? What if I hadn't let them go?
