“The best of _When Harry Met Sally_, _Normal People_, and _Lady Bird_ all wrapped up in a vintage button-down and sprinkled with Midwestern charm.” —Joanna Goddard, _Cup of Jo_

The debut novel from beloved writer Erika Veurink, this is a deeply personal and propulsive romance laced with humor, heat, and high-octane yearning. Perfect for fans of _You_, _Again_, _One Day_, and _People We Meet on Vacation_.

After a postgraduation drive from Iowa City to NYC, Teddy and Marin have both had enough of each other to last the rest of their lives. But that doesn't stop their paths from crossing over eight rocky years, punctuated by chance encounters and transatlantic visits, on a journey that eventually brings them right back to where it all started.

“You are going to stay up way past your bedtime devouring this novella.” —Molly Prentiss, author of _Tuesday Nights in 1980_ and _Old Flame_

“Erika Veurink pulls off a fun, charming read with just enough scandalous young-people behavior to remind you that we are all a mess and that falling in love is a journey that's well worth the adventure and the many detours.” —Aminatou Sow, coauthor of the NYT bestseller _Big Friendship_

“I've already read it twice.” —Caro Claire Burke, author of the forthcoming _Yesteryear_
