A small-town YA rom-com about missed chances, quiet crushes, and the school year that almost didn’t happen the way it should.

Ivy Preston has been in love with her best friend Aiden for years—she just never meant to say goodbye without telling him. The summer starts with music camp and a missed moment, and by the time school begins, everything between them has changed.

Told with humor, heart, and a lot of almosts, Almost Missed Our Shot is a slow-burn romance full of best friends-to-maybe-more tension, mutual pining, missed connections, emotional detours—and one boy who messes up epically and has to earn his second chance with a pretty solid grovel.

Perfect for fans of Lynn Painter, Jenny Han, or Kasie West.
