Taking inspiration from the languid atmospherics of Andre Aciman's CALL ME BY YOUR NAME and the multiple perspectives of Taylor Swift's FOLKLORE. Two teenagers collide in this dual-perspective story that spans the eventful summer of 2016. Romance, friendship, and the battle against childhood wounds leave their mark in this tale of human connection and the forging of identity. Will Joe and Billie be able to hold on to what they've found, or will innocence be lost when they discover that love is far more complicated than they ever knew?

In the summer of 2016, two teens come together in an explosive love affair that alters the course of their lives. When Billie and Joe meet at his summer party, something in the atmosphere shifts. Under the hot sun in their seaside town, they spend the next two weeks in bliss, holding on to what most people never touch in a lifetime. But when Joe is faced with an impossible choice, they may discover there is a darkness to love they never dreamed of.

Told from alternating perspectives, the story of their love affair explores the complexities of love, life, and the moment we come of age, the world forever changed by the loss of innocence.

They say there are two sides to every story. Who says both of them can't be true?

Liz knows loneliness all too well. Haunted by the shadow of her brother's tragic death and engulfed in the ocean of her parents' grief and guilt, Liz struggles to find a reason to live and distances herself from the world. As she navigates a life full of tragedies, she feels like her heartstrings are out of tune, resonating only with sorrow and despair. However, when she stumbles upon Jason Johnson, everything changes. Jason's presence begins to inspire her and helps her create a melody of healing and hope. This is the imperfectly perfect story of how Liz meets Jason and begins a journey to discover a version of herself she was unsure existed. This is Tuning Heartstrings.
