Taylor is chasing dreams across continents. Daniel is the one person she never meant to leave behind.
Years pass. Paths change. But something invisible keeps tugging them back to each other.
Sonja Marcus is a contemporary women’s fiction author whose stories are inspired by her love of travel, work, and the many adventures in between. She discovered her passion for exploring the world while studying abroad in Barcelona, an experience that continues to shape both her writing and her sense of wonder. Visiting every inhabited Greek isle remains high on her bucket list.
She lives in Chappaqua, New York, with her husband, two teenagers and a wonderfully unruly rescue dog. When she’s not writing, Sonja manages clinical trials for a nonprofit blood cancer organization, plans her next getaway, or laughs her way through the beautiful chaos of family life.
gTaylor Evans has her life perfectly planned—top grades, big dreams, and a year in Barcelona.
She never expects Daniel Collins, her childhood friend, to reappear at the worst—and best—possible moment.
From college nights to European escapes, Taylor keeps running from the truth: some people are impossible to outrun.
Years later in Manhattan, fate gives them one more chance.
But can two people rewrite their timing, or do some strings stay tangled forever?
From early 2000s nostalgia to quiet modern longing, this is a tender young adult fiction story about self-discovery and finding the courage to meet halfway.
If fate gives you a second chance, don’t look away, If fate gives you a second chance, don’t look away, If fate gives you a second chance, don’t look away
