About this book

When Hannah runs into her high school sweetheart at a bar one fateful night, she faces a split-second decision: leave with her best friend or stay with him? This gorgeous dual-timeline novel follows both possibilities, showing us how one small choice ripples into completely different lives, loves, and versions of who Hannah becomes. As her two parallel worlds unfold with surprisingly big consequences, you'll find yourself emotionally invested in both storylines, wondering which version of happiness—if any—was meant to be. It's a captivating, romantic exploration of fate, chance, and whether the person you're meant to be with can find you no matter what path you take.

Indie folk and soft pop for wistful nostalgia, bittersweet reflection, and the ache of wondering "what if." Think Bon Iver, Phoebe Bridgers, The National. Acoustic guitars, intimate vocals, moments of gentle melancholy mixed with hope. Atmospheric and introspective—perfect for contemplating parallel paths and the weight of single choices.
