在本書中，故事從「現在」往回推移。Neon 正躲在浴室裡，心跳快得像要跳出胸口。二十四秒後，他與 Aria 將跨出重要一步。但真正讓他緊張的，不只是那一刻，而是他是否準備好成為一個溫柔、負責的人。於是時間倒轉：二十四分鐘前、二十四天前、二十四個月前——每個片段都拼湊出他們的相遇與相愛。Jason Reynolds 以流暢的意識獨白，描寫男孩面對親密關係時的慌張與真誠。本書榮獲 Coretta Scott King Author Award，並登上《The New York Times》暢銷榜，獲多家媒體星級推薦。這不只是關於「第一次」，更是關於尊重、溝通與被好好愛著的可能。A Coretta Scott King Author Award WinnerA New York Times BestsellerSeven starred reviews!
