Two best friends who only see each other every autumn at their beloved pumpkin patch face their final season together, and Deja decides she won't let Josiah spend it wallowing—instead, she's dragging him into an unforgettable Halloween night full of adventures, snacks, and maybe, just maybe, a chance for him to finally talk to his longtime crush. This graphic novel is the perfect blend of bittersweet nostalgia and infectious energy, capturing that tender feeling of letting go while celebrating the magic of the moments you're still living. Rainbow Rowell and Faith Erin Hicks create a story that's genuinely funny, deeply felt, and absolutely charming—it's about friendship, possibility, and making peace with endings by turning them into beginnings.
Reading soundtrack
Soft indie pop and acoustic folk that captures autumn nostalgia, bittersweet friendship, and quiet butterflies. Think cozy indie vibes like Soccer Mommy and Boygenius mixed with feel-good pop melodies. Perfect for golden hour moments, gentle longing, and the ache of beautiful endings.
