Until Next Year

UNTIL NEXT YEAR

Some people leave your life. Others only learn how to live between the years.

It's the early 1990s, and seventeen-year-old Trinity has gotten very good at keeping people at a distance.

Then Paul walks into her woods.

He's blond, impossible, relentlessly charming, and convinced his garage band, Pinebox, is going somewhere. Trinity knows better than to trust someone who arrives in her life that easily.

She falls for him anyway.

What begins with cassette tapes, late-night phone calls, loud music, and an impulsive trip to Seattle becomes something neither of them is prepared for. Because before that trip is over, Trinity and Paul witness something they were never supposed to see.

And the decision they make afterward will follow them long after they leave the road behind.

Bound together by first love, guilt, and a secret neither can forget, they make an unusual promise: no matter where life takes them, they will meet again.

Same city.

Same weekend.

Once a year.

But memory is unreliable. Guilt changes shape. And sometimes two people can survive the same night and spend years remembering it differently.

A dark, nostalgic story of first love, buried secrets, grunge-era Seattle, and the people we never completely leave behind, Until Next Year is the first book in the Between the Years series.
