About the book:

Franny and Sam are each other’s entire world. So what do you do when your world ends? Frozen’s Jennifer Lee and Lunar New Year Love Story’s LeUyen Pham deliver a tour de force young adult romance with a supernatural twist.

Falling in love is supposed to hurt. That’s what Franny and Sam, two cynical teenagers raised on tales of heartbreak and loss, have come to understand. Yet when they fall for each other, they find the reality of love is something else entirely: it’s electrifying, all-encompassing, and easy. Theirs is a love that can conquer anything…perhaps even death.

But Franny and Sam’s quest to stay together—no matter the cost—soon blurs the line between reality and fantasy, and their shared dream threatens to turn into a nightmare.

About the authors:

Jennifer Lee is the Academy Award-winning writer and director of Disney's Frozen and Frozen 2. She earned a Tony Award nomination for Best Book of a Musical for her stage adaptation of Frozen. She also co-wrote the screenplay for Oscar-nominated Wreck-It Ralph, as well as the story for the Academy Award-winning Zootopia. She served as Chief Creative Officer of Walt Disney Animation Studios from 2018 to 2024, when she began work on Frozen 3. A lucid dreamer herself, Lee and her family split their time between New York City and Los Angeles.

LeUyen Pham is the award-winning and best-selling creator of over 140 books for children, including The Man Who Didn’t Like Animals by Deborah Underwood, Shrinking Violet by Laurel Snyder, Caldecott Honor Bear Came Along by Richard T. Morris, and the Eisner Award–winning graphic novel Lunar New Year Love Story with Gene Yang. She is also the illustrator of the Princess in Black series, Real Friends graphic novel series, and cocreator of Itty-Bitty Kitty-Corn with Shannon Hale. LeUyen lives with her family in Los Angeles, CA.

By purchasing a book from BookPeople, you are not only supporting a local, independent business – you’re showing publishers that they should continue sending authors to BookPeople.

Thank you for supporting Jennifer Lee, LeUyen Pham, and your local independent bookstore!
