sometime between now and then
In a quiet coastal town in New England, fifteen-year-old new girl, Bethenny Caldwell, and sixteen-year-old Bar Harbor resident, Harry Styles, become unlikely best friends; two teenagers tethered by circumstance, grief, and the quiet longing for bigger worlds beyond Seabrook Street.
Over the next twenty years, they fall in and out of each other's orbits through college and moves, through heartbreaks and near misses, through the milestones that shape who we become. Every time life gives them a chance to choose each other... the timing is just slightly wrong.
But they never stop returning to the town that raised them, to the memories neither can outrun, and to the version of love they only ever found in each other.
Spanning from 2005 to the present, this is a story about the way people grow and break and rebuild... how grief leaves fingerprints that follow us into adulthood... and how some connections quietly survive the seasons we think will destroy them.
a romance born in the wrong moment - again and again - until one day, it isn't.
