"Anyone looking for a coming-of-age love story with a more grown-up edge will want to read this. There's a reason people say, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder." This novel explores that idea while also showing that love alone doesn't erase the challenges created by distance and time." — Readers' Favorite

"A sweeping international romance and deeply rooted love story told by two world-weary adults who are still kids at heart [...] Book clubs will find much to discuss with Bella & Rami, as will fans of women’s fiction. When it comes to being in love, no one does it better than young people, and people who used to be young." — Independent Book Review

"What gives Bella & Rami its lasting force is de Border’s commitment to memory in all its untidy forms. The novel is confessional, reflective, and often intensely private, but its broader subject is the way a life changes when the past is revisited instead of simply remembered [...] Bella & Rami is a novel about first love becoming part of a lifetime, about the stories people construct from incomplete knowledge, and about the possibility that returning to the past with greater understanding can transform what that past means." — Literary Titan
