Natalie Cleary must risk her future and leap blindly into a vast unknown for the chance to build a new world with the boy she loves.
Natalie’s last summer in her small Kentucky hometown is off to a magical start... until she starts seeing the “wrong things.” They’re just momentary glimpses at first—her front door is red instead of its usual green, there’s a pre-school where the garden store should be. But then her whole town disappears for hours, fading away into rolling hills and grazing buffalo, and Nat knows something isn’t right.
That’s when she gets a visit from the kind but mysterious apparition she calls “Grandmother,” who tells her: “You have three months to save him.” The next night, under the stadium lights of the high school football field, she meets a beautiful boy named Beau, and it’s as if time just stops and nothing exists. Nothing, except Natalie and Beau.
Emily Henry’s stunning debut novel is Friday Night Lights meets The Time Traveler’s Wife, and perfectly captures those bittersweet months after high school, when we dream not only of the future, but of all the roads and paths we’ve left untaken.

MY REVIEW
What I loved about this story... I could not put this down. Such a beautiful story and one that kept me wanting to keep turning the pages until the very end. If it had not been that I had to go through my day to day life, I would not have put this down! If I had to pick one aspect that I enjoyed the most would have to be the 'premonitiion' from her grandmother that 'You have three months to save him'. Such an open ended statement that could be interpreted in many ways. I really needed to know why.
Would I recommend... Absolutely! Along with the above, the aspect of love in this story is a major aspect and dealt with beautifully.
