Tess Callahan's first novel, April & Oliver, offers up young lovers who are all bad timing and botched encounters and smoldering passion.… In trying to persuade us of the caliber of this couple's response to each other, Callahan's prose is occasionally overwrought. … But Callahan wants the couple's attraction to be about more than sex. April and Oliver are also soul mates, and many readers will find their bumpy road compelling, a sensitive and emotional account of two people grappling with the complicated force of mutual attraction when it strikes the right people at the wrong time.
