AJ and Noah are soul mates, for real. He comes from a Hollywood royalty family, she is a woman in comedy that dreams of writing for SNL. They connect when she is working at a video store then 7 years later they are cast in a space show called Into the Blue.
My goodness, team, this is a very romantic, overly dramatic, “meant to be” vibes. This is like that movie “Love Story” in the 1970’s which is why every 45-50 year old woman is named Jennifer. But I digress. If you love to sob your face off at a love story this is going to be your top best number one book of 2026.
The blurbs are treating this as a spoiler, that Noah knows he has a short life span and will die of a very rare, inherited genetic disorder called Huntington’s disease. Therefore I will mark this whole review for spoilers. I am not a book marketer, so hey, what do I know. But this is what the story is, a tragic love story about a man who doesn’t want to get close because he knows he will deteriorate and die in his 40’s. This kind of story is jarring and not for everyone, and others will really love it. I found it to be tragic, beautiful, at times maybe a bit too sad. Honestly based on the blurb I was not prepared for this kind of story and I cried a lot.
I am sure that this book will be very popular and it will get a lot of 5 star ratings and others will feel catfished. The characters are excellent and the ending was purely beautiful
Thank you to NetGalley and Ballantine for giving me the chance to read this very buzzworthy ARC. Book to be published July 14, 2026.
