"I can't sleep but I can dream of us."
Luke Jones has always been an insomniac. His lack of a full four hour sleep has got him convinced it's the source of his poetic powers but also that he's dying soon. So he makes the most of his nights, writing songs and playing them when no one can hear.
That is, until Nora Perry heard the ruckus that kept her awake. The noise which actually became one of her favorite things to listen to.
Soon, Luke gains more than a muse and Nora loses more than her sleep as midnight walks, rooftop talks, and secret serenades became the norm.
But as the sun comes up, college classes, current relationships and their vastly different futures dawn on them.
Will their feelings ever make it past the sunrise or is their love too skinny to last?
