A SPARKLING ADULT DEBUT FROM BELOVED NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR STEPHANIE PERKINS
"Stephanie Perkins is the reason we write romance. OVERDUE is the book her readers have been waiting for." —Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling author of The Paradise Problem
Is it time to renew love or start a new chapter?
Ingrid
Dahl, a cheerful twenty-nine-year-old librarian in the cozy mountain
town of Ridgetop, North Carolina, has been happily dating her college
boyfriend, Cory, for eleven years without ever discussing marriage. But
when Ingrid’s sister announces her engagement to a woman she’s only been
dating for two years, Ingrid and Cory feel pressured to consider their
future. Neither has ever been with anybody else, so they make an
unconventional decision. They'll take a one-month break to date other
people, then they'll reunite and move toward marriage. Ingrid even has
someone in mind: her charmingly grumpy coworker, Macon Nowakowski, on
whom she’s secretly crushed for years. But plans go awry, and when the
month ends, Ingrid and Cory realize they’re not ready to resume their
relationship—and Ingrid’s harmless crush on Macon has turned into
something much more complicated.
Overdue is a beautiful, slow-burn romance full of lust and longing about new beginnings and finding your way.
My 3 Star Review Titled: Not for me
Both Ingrid and Macon were interesting and I liked them both but the story was too slow for me. I did enjoy the beginning where sunshine, Ingrid and grouchy and surprisingly shy, Macon interacted and how he looked out for her and how she encouraged him. They often "rescued" each other. They were cute until things got awkward. And boy, did they ! I do have to give the author points for coming up with something different and unique. Edmond the cat was a nice touch. It had an interesting ending.
Thank you to Stephanie Perkins, St. Martin’s Press, Saturday Books and NetGalley for this book. All opinions are my own.
