lovely is the feeling now

Eloise has always preferred the worlds inside her books, ones filled with magic, music, and adventures far more exciting than anything waiting beyond her bedroom window.

Then Michael moves in down the street.

He is funny, imaginative, endlessly curious, and nearly always getting himself into some kind of trouble. What begins as an unexpected childhood friendship soon becomes something neither of them knows how to live without. They grow up sharing secrets, writing songs, chasing impossible dreams, and finding pieces of home in one another.

But as Michael's world grows louder, their relationship becomes harder to protect. Fame brings distance, rumors, expectations, and a life neither of them could have imagined when they were children slipping through windows and dreaming beneath the stars.

Through changing seasons, heartbreak, music, and history in the making, Michael and Eloise must discover whether the bond they have carried since childhood can survive growing up or whether some fairytales simply take longer to reach their happy ending.
