About
"Stephanie Perkins is the reason we write romance. Overdue is the book her readers have been waiting for." -Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling author of The Paradise Problem
Ingrid Dahl is a cheerful, twenty-nine-year-old librarian living in the cosy mountain town of Ridgetop. She and her boyfriend since college, Cory, have never discussed marriage; they're perfectly happy with the way things are. But when Ingrid's sister announces her engagement to a woman she's only been dating for two years, Ingrid and Cory suddenly feel pressured to start thinking about the inevitable: marriage and kids.
The thing is, neither of them has ever been with anyone else. Shouldn't they sow their oats before settling down?
They make the unorthodox decision to separate for a month to date other people, assuming that at the end of it, they'll reunite and start planning their nuptials. And Ingrid has the perfect man in mind for this relationship sabbatical--Macon Nowakowski, her cantankerous and completely adorable coworker for whom she's had a crush for years.
But of course the best laid plans often go awry, and when Ingrid and Cory meet at the end of the month to resume next steps in their relationship, it's clear neither of them is ready to get back together...

She has always worked with books-first as a bookseller, then as a librarian, and now as a novelist. She lives in the mountains of North Carolina with her husband. Every room of their house is painted a different colour of the rainbow. The perfect, small town, slow burn romance from the New York Times bestselling author of Anna and the French Kiss. ESTABLISHED BESTSELLING AUTHOR: Author has an established fanbase through her YA romance fiction which sits alongside John Green, Rainbow Rowell and Jenny Han. This novel is firmly in the adult space with 30something characters but it retains everything her fans love about her writing. TROPE-O-METER: small town romance, very slowburn, friends to lovers, colleagues to lovers, bookshop romance, library romance. PERFECT SMALL TOWN SETTING: small town romances are hugely popular and this one is idyllic, like Stars Hollow but with micro-breweries. BOOKSELLER AND LIBRARIAN FRIENDLY: both main characters are librarians in a picturesque small town library and later in the book, they establish the perfect independent bookshop.
