Why read it?
1 author picked Years as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Years is a beautiful age-gap romance that also allows the reader to get to know a gentle older brother, a feisty mother, a risk-taking son, and many other townsfolk. The Heroine is a teacher, and the author paints such a beautiful picture of the students. Each of them has their own personalities. Years overflows with so much heartache, sweetness, and love that I have read it multiple times.
From Kara's list on The best romances with loveable, quirky families.
