The New York Times bestseller from the co-author of Five Feet Apart and She Gets the Girl presents a fresh and inventive sapphic romantic comedy that blends the charm of What If It’s Us with the elegance of Bridgerton.

Seventeen-year-old Audrey Cameron has hit a rough patch. An awkward encounter with her ex-boyfriend leaves her feeling lost and devoid of her usual spark. On the advice of friends, Audrey reluctantly agrees to venture out of her comfort zone and take some risks. What she doesn't expect is a twist of fate that transports her from the present day to Regency England!

In Regency England, Lucy Sinclair faces her own set of challenges. Oppressed by her authoritarian father and dreading an unwanted marriage proposal, Lucy's life takes an intriguing turn when Audrey mysteriously arrives, claiming to be from two centuries in the future. Intrigued and somewhat captivated by Audrey's boldness and modern perspective, Lucy finds a much-needed distraction from the expectations and limitations of her era.

As the girls embark on a journey to understand Audrey's sudden time travel and devise a way to send her back home, they form an unexpected bond. Their revived spark doesn't align with the societal expectations of their time; instead of falling for their prescribed suitors, they begin to fall for each other. Amidst the constraints of the period and the mystery of time travel, Audrey and Lucy's growing affection leads them to contemplate the possibility of an unconventional happily-ever-after.

Can their love endure the challenges posed by impossible circumstances and the reality of living in different centuries?

A swoony, time-travelling young adult romance set in the Regency era, Pride and Prejudice and the City reimagines a classic Jane Austen tale through a modern, sapphic lens. It’s a story about finding your spark and embracing love against all odds.
