On the night before they leave for college, Clare and Aidan only have one thing left to do: figure out whether they should stay together or break up. Over the course of twelve hours, they'll retrace the steps of their relationship, trying to find something in their past that might help them decide what their future should be. The night will lead them to friends and family, familiar landmarks and unexpected places, hard truths and surprising revelations. But as the clock winds down and morning approaches, so does their inevitable goodbye. The question is, will it be goodbye for now or goodbye forever?
This new must-read novel from Jennifer E. Smith, author of The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight, explores the difficult choices that must be made when life and love lead in different directions.
EXCERPT:
When Aidan opens the door, Clare rises onto her tiptoes to kiss him, and for a moment, it feels like any other night.
"Hi," she says, once she's stepped back again, and he smiles.
"Hi."
They stare at each other for a few long seconds, neither quite sure how to begin.
"So," Clare says eventually.
Aidan attempts a smile. "So."
"I guess this is it."
He nods. "I guess it is."
"The last night," she says, and he tilts his head at her.
"You know it doesn't have to be."
"Aidan. . ."
"I know, I know," he says, holding up his hands. "But you can't really blame me, right? I've still got a little bit of time to change your mind."
"Only twelve hours," she says, glancing at her watch. "I can't believe that's all we have left."
"And that's only if we don't sleep."
“We're definitely not wasting any time on sleep,” she tells him, pulling a folded piece of notebook paper from the pocket of her dress. “We have way too much to do.”
"Hi," she says, once she's stepped back again, and he smiles.
"Hi."
They stare at each other for a few long seconds, neither quite sure how to begin.
"So," Clare says eventually.
Aidan attempts a smile. "So."
"I guess this is it."
He nods. "I guess it is."

"Aidan. . ."
