From bestselling authors Becky Albertalli (Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda, which was made into the film Love, Simon) and Adam Silvera (They Both Die At The End) comes a New York love story with a difference...

Meet Ben and Arthur. Ben is a battered dreamer who’s shipping his ex-boyfriend’s things back to him. Arthur is new to New York and struggling to fit in. After a memorable meet-cute in a New York post office, the boys lose touch only to be brought back together via a 'missed connection' advert.

Is it fate? It looks like it. But after a series of disastrous first dates, Ben and Arthur may have to accept the universe should’ve minded its business.
