Summary

"Maxine and Jonah meet in the canned goods aisle just as California is going into lockdown. Max?s part-time job as a personal grocery shopper is about to transform into a hellish gauntlet. Jonah?s pre-existing anxiety is about to become an epic daily struggle. As Max and Jonah get to know each other through FaceTime dates, socially distanced playground hangs, and the escalating heartbreaks of the pandemic, they?re pushed apart by what they don?t share and pulled closer by what they do. As thoughtful, probing, and informed as it is buoyant, romantic, and funny, Hello (From Here) cuts across differences in class, privilege, and mental health, all thrown into stark relief by the COVID-19 pandemic. Here?s a novel that looks at the first two months of the quarantine, and adds falling in love to the mess."--Amazon.com
