Description

Penny Lee has coasted through high school with a carefully managed normalcy—until college in Austin pulls her toward a future she’s not sure how to write, and a past she’s not sure how to leave behind. Sam, meanwhile, is stuck in a life that feels both temporary and permanent, scraping by while dreaming of a bigger story he can finally direct. When their paths collide, it isn’t romance at first sight so much as a collision of awkward honesty, sparked by late-night texts that let them reveal what they can’t say face-to-face. As their connection deepens, both Penny and Sam are forced to confront what they want, what they fear, and how love changes when it’s built from vulnerability, timing, and the courage to show up. With Mary H. K. Choi’s sharp wit and emotionally precise voice, this smart, compulsively readable novel captures young love in all its messy, hopeful glory.
