A Romantic Fantasy • Small Town Secrets • Time Travel • Clean
Grace Brooks is just like any other girl starting high school. She worries about friendships, boys, and whether she can keep her title as the chief nerd of Miller's Island. There's just one problem:
Grace can travel through time.
Before ninth grade even begins, Grace has already seen her junior year-a future she desperately wants but doesn't yet understand. She knows the ending of her story before she's lived the middle. Now she's faced with an impossible question: how do you build the future you saw when every choice in the present could change it?
As Grace tries to survive the everyday chaos of freshman year, she leans on her co-traveler and closest friend, Jack Carter. But their shared secret grows heavier when they uncover troubling clues suggesting that the tragic accident that killed Jack's parents may not have been an accident at all.
The truth is tangled in timelines Grace barely understands. Dig too deep, and she could unravel the future she wants-or destroy the one Jack deserves. Between classes, shifting friendships, and feelings neither of them is ready to name, Grace must decide how much she's willing to risk for answers.
As secrets surface and time bends in unexpected ways, Grace learns that the smallest moments can change everything-and no timeline is ever as simple as it seems.
