November 9: A Novel

Beloved #1 New York Times bestselling author of It Starts with Us, It Ends with Us, and All Your Perfects returns with an unforgettable love story between a writer and his unexpected muse.

Fallon meets Ben, an aspiring novelist, the day before her scheduled cross-country move. Their untimely attraction leads them to spend Fallon's last day in Los Angeles together, and her eventful life becomes the creative inspiration Ben has always sought for his novel. Over time and amidst the various relationships and tribulations of their own separate lives, they continue to meet on the same date every year. Until one day Fallon becomes unsure if Ben has been telling her the truth or fabricating a perfect reality for the sake of the ultimate plot twist.

Can Ben's relationship with Fallon--and simultaneously his novel--be considered a love story if it ends in heartbreak?

Colleen takes you through an emotional roller coaster as two characters (Fallen and Ben) navigate a friendship. Connecting us to our own stories we tell ours, Colleen subtly guides us through the words and wisdoms of young love. She ties in heartbreak, grief, and loss in such a way we literally feel every emotion the character is feeling. I literally stayed up all night to finish this book in one sitting and boy, was I addicted! 100% recommend! (Miles, Tate, and Ian (Ben’s pilot brother) from “Ugly Love” are intertwined with this story. Had me wanting to go back and reread “Ugly Love.”)
