Looking for a read that’s romantic, thoughtful, and deeply human?


This February, we’re diving into , a moving love story that unfolds over the course of one unforgettable day in New York City.

Natasha is pragmatic, grounded, and facing imminent deportation with her family. Daniel is a dreamer who believes in destiny and chance encounters. When their paths cross, the two spend the day exploring the city, questioning fate, choice, and whether love can truly change the course of a life.
