Bloomsbury presents Because You'll Never Meet Me by Leah Thomas, read by Gil Sidaway and Gregg Lowe

In an acclaimed literary debut, two boys on opposite ends of the world begin an unlikely friendship that will change their lives forever.

Ollie and Moritz are best friends, but they can never meet. Ollie has a life-threatening allergy to electricity, and Moritz's weak heart requires a pacemaker. If they ever did meet, they could both die. Living as recluses from society, the boys develop a fierce bond through letters that become a lifeline during dark times--as Ollie loses his only friend, Liz, to the normalcy of high school and Moritz deals with a bully set on destroying him. But when Moritz reveals the key to their shared, sinister past that began years ago in a mysterious German laboratory, their friendship faces a test neither one of them expected.

Narrated in letter form by Ollie and Moritz--two extraordinary new voices--this story of impossible friendship and hope under strange circumstances blends elements of science fiction with coming of age themes, in a humorous, dark, and ultimately inspiring tale that is completely unforgettable.

Recensioni della critica

The pacing is impeccable, as letters move from sunniness (Oliver) and bemused distance (Moritz) to both writers exploring their darkest fears, experiences, and worries for their futures. (starred review)
A witty, unusual take on friendship and parlaying weakness into power.
Ollie and Moritz are memorable characters with engaging and often humorous voices. . . A quirky, almost whimsical feel even as Thomas grounds it in heartfelt and often painful emotion.
The two may be eccentric outcasts, but their conflicts, heartbreak, and eventual bond form a relatable and engaging narrative.
This semi-sci-fi Bildungsroman has some surprising twists and turns--well worth the suspension of disbelief it requires.
It’s the distinct, deeply memorable voices of Ollie and Moritz that make this novel an affecting page-turner.
