A sparkling adult debut from beloved New York Times bestselling author Stephanie Perkins, now in paperback! Featuring pink stained edges and french flaps, while supplies last! Is i t 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 over a decade without ever discussing marriage. But when Ingrid's younger sister becomes engaged, 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 monthlong break to date other people, then they'll reunite and move toward marriage. It doesn't matter that everyone else thinks the idea is foolish; Ingrid is confident it will work. She even has someone in mind: her charmingly grumpy coworker, Macon Nowakowski, whom she's secretly pined over for years. But plans go awry, and when the month ends, the experiment doesn't--leading Ingrid into a messy, challenging, exhilarating reevaluation of her entire life over the course of a year. And through it all remains Macon, the harmless crush that is turning into something much more complicated. A slow-burn romance full of lust and longing, Overdue is about choosing the life--and love--your heart truly desires. Show more
