Hello Now

Jude doesn’t believe in love, or magic. Life is little more than ordinary. That is, until Jude’s mother
loses her job and moves them to a little town by the sea to live with Henry Lake—an eccentric old man
with rooms to rent. Henry is odd, the town is dull, and worst of all, Jude feels out of place and alone.

So when Novo turns up in the house across the street, dressed all in black and looking unbearably
handsome, Jude’s summer takes an immediate turn for the better. But Novo isn’t all that he seems to
be—or maybe he’s more than Jude can possibly understand. Novo is pure magic—someone who can
bend and stretch the bounds of time. Someone who wakes up in different places and at different points
in history with utter regularity. He knows that each Now is fleeting, that each moment is only worth
the energy it expends on itself, and that each experience will be lost to him before long.

But Jude and Novo form a bond that shifts reality for both of them. And when things go horribly
wrong, Jude and Novo are faced with an impossible question that may change both of their lives
irreparably—what is worth sacrificing for love?

A stunningly written, compelling exploration of the universality of love—and what it means to
live in the moment—that quite literally defies both logic and time. A love story without borders that
reflects the best of our modern world.
