When Sorrows Come — Katie M. John

An Upper YA Contemporary Romance Seventeen-year-old Ophelia is in love with the tall, dark and handsome Malachi: Mathematical Genius, Poet, Swimmer, and Narcissist. Drawn together by their own self-destructive impulses, they begin a consuming and twisted tango of desire and rejection. When Malachi's mother marries his uncle, Malachi's word turns on a spindle, his previously charmed life invaded by the Devil. As Malachi's increasing paranoia and anger start to take over his life, it is only Ophelia who can offer any kind of salvation; only Malachi doesn't know how to love anything other than his future dream. Finding herself caught in an exquisitely bitter-sweet relationship, Ophelia falls in love with a boy who will only realise his love for her when it is too late.
