NOWHERE ELSE BUT HERE

Book ID/图书代码： 01890018C00002

English Summary/英文概要： Rose Valentine prefers to keep herself to herself. Life is easier when you stick to the rules and stay out of other people’s business. So why is she so intrigued by Theo Lockhart? Sure, he’s handsome - everyone knows that, including him. Sometimes he makes her laugh. But he’s also aloof, moody, and impossible to get to know. Rose should know, she’s tried. After two years of being Chemistry partners, she still doesn’t know a single thing about him. When Theo disappears from town, Rose assumes he’s done a runner. She’s sure of it - right up until he turns up on her doorstep, asking to hide out at her house. Why is he running? And more importantly, why did he choose her? Letting him in means going against everything Rose believes in. It’s reckless and risky and definitely against the rules. But there’s something about Theo that makes Rose want to break the rules . . . As he turns Rose’s world upside down, and even though she begins to enjoy it, they both know that the real world still exists outside the safe confinement of Rose’s bedroom. But can things ever go back to normal?

Chinese Summary/中文概要： Rose Valentine更喜欢独处。遵守规则，不管闲事，生活才会更简单。但她为什么会被Theo Lockhart深深吸引？当然，他很帅——这一点大家都知道，包括他自己。有时，他让她感到快乐。但他也很高冷、喜怒无常、无法接近。要知道，Rose已经尽力了。两人作为化学课搭档已经相处了两年，而她仍然一点也不了解他。Theo消失后，Rose以为他是逃跑了。她对此深信不疑，直到两年后他出现在她家门口，请求躲避。为什么他要逃跑？更重要的是，为什么他要选择她？让他进屋意味着打破Rose一直以来所信奉的一切——鲁莽、冒险，违反规则……他把Rose的世界搞得天翻地覆，而Rose开始乐在其中，但他们都知道，Rose卧室以外的真实世界依然存在。一切还能回到原来的样子吗？（LYR）

Awards/获奖情况：本书是一部甜蜜的青少年爱情小说，其中的神秘元素令读者欲罢不能。

这是Rachel Cotton的精彩处女作，喜欢John Green和Jandy Nelson作品的读者一定会爱上本书。

本书探讨了包括焦虑、缺席的父母、虐待等在内的多个主题，情节回环曲折。但书中还有一些非常甜腻的时刻。如果你只想舒服地阅读一本笑中带泪的好书，本书是一部完美的夏日（或任何时候）阅读选择。

我最喜欢本书男女主角的原因在于，他们呈现出了这个年龄该有的样子，而没有故作老成，这一点非常新鲜。有时，你能看出他们的少不更事，而看着他们非常自然地对彼此打开心扉是一种非常有趣的体验。

很明显，作者非常了解青少年的情感。她非常善于给角色赋予温暖和光明的意味，非常青春。作为一个无可救药的浪漫主义者，我无可救药地爱上了Theo和Rose之间甜蜜的互动，其中黑暗的元素被巧妙地隐藏了起来，使作品仍然呈现出青春的感觉。书中的人物无疑是本书的最大亮点，我敢肯定，每个人都能在其中找到共鸣。

Nowhere Else But Here by Rachel Cotton is a sweet, teen romance with elements of mystery that will entertain readers until the very last page.

After participating in a search to find Theodore Lockhart, a missing classmate who has run away from home, Rose Valentine is shocked to find him standing on her doorstep. She agrees to let him stay, unaware of the consequences her actions will provoke. The relationship between Rose and Theo is engaging, helped along by the wit and humour of Cotton’s writing.

Rose is an extremely relatable heroine, struggling to make her own way through school unsupervised by her busy parents. While her rocky relationship with Theodore forms the backbone of the novel, her relationship with her parents is also explored, leading to emotional scenes of conflict and reconciliation.

This is a fantastic debut from author, Rachel Cotton, and fans of John Green and Jandy Nelson will love Nowhere Else But Here.

“This book deals with several subjects including anxiety, absentee parents and abuse, some of which came as a plot twist for me. But this book also has some lovely good fluffy moments - I’m talking rot-your-teeth-sweet, In the best way possible - and this is the perfect Summer (or anytime) read when you just want to curl up with a good book that will make you grin, laugh, and cry all in the space of one page.”

“What I liked most about Rose and Theo’s relationship, is that they acted their age. They didn’t try to come across as older and it was so refreshing. You could tell they were young and inexperienced at times, but it was lovely to see them open up to each other and allow their relationship to progress naturally.”

“It’s clear Rachel understands teen emotions as she is living them right now. Rachel is able to bring a warmth and light to her characters that can only be shown through youthfulness. As a hopeless romantic myself, I couldn’t help but fall in love with the sweet interactions between Theo and Rose and the darker subjects are cleverly covered whilst still maintaining a teen feel. The characters are definitely the strongest point of the book and I’m sure everyone can relate to aspects of one, or both of the leads.”
