Description
One conversation can change everything.
Meg has her entire life set up perfectly: she and her best friend, Emily, plan to head to Cornell together in the fall, and she works at a voter registration call center in her Philadelphia suburb. But everything changes when one of those calls connects her to a stranger from small-town Ohio.
Colby is stuck in a rut, reeling from a family tragedy and working a dead-end job. The last thing he has time for is some privileged rich girl preaching the sanctity of the political process. So he says the worst thing he can think of and hangs up.
But things don’t end there.…
That night on the phone winds up being the first in a series of candid, sometimes heated, always surprising conversations that lead to a long-distance friendship and then—slowly—to something more. Across state lines and phone lines, Meg and Colby form a once-in-a-lifetime connection. But in the end, are they just too different to make it work?
You Say It First is a propulsive, layered novel about how sometimes the person who has the least in common with us can be the one who changes us most.

Meg and Colby are very different people from very different walks of life who meet by chance (in a way that is a little sketchy, which they are both aware of, but don't care about), they start talking on the phone and fall in love in the process. Mostly, we follow them each in their own lives, handling and not handling stuff, until they meet for the first time and then multiple times after and try to decide if the idea of them is a disaster or worth fighting for. All in all, the story is very cute, and I love it when they finally take charge of their own lives l and also when they meet each other in the middle, but I think it ends in a place where they still have a lot of work to put in to make them work. Them each being more comfortable in their own plan for the future hopefully would make it easier for them than it had been before. Worth a read.
