Synopsis

REESE’S BOOK CLUB PICK • An epic, decades-spanning love story that blazes through the worlds of acting and comedy and charts a connection unlike any other.

“INTOXICATING.”—TAYLOR JENKINS REID, author of Atmosphere
“SMART AND ROMANTIC.”—GABRIELLE ZEVIN, author of Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow
“DEEPLY MOVING.”—KEVIN WILSON, author of Nothing to See Here

“The truth is there’s no such thing as a normal life. There’s just the time you get and how you spend it.”

In the summer of 2000, AJ Graves dreams of writing for Saturday Night Live; instead, she’s stuck working in a video rental store, with slim odds of escaping her small Massachusetts town. Then in walks Noah Drew, the enigmatic and intense scion of the Drew acting dynasty, and her life changes forever. Despite wildly different upbringings, the two forge a deep, cosmic bond, first as friends, then as acting partners—until one day, Noah disappears without a word.

Seven years later, in New York City, AJ is shocked to find herself cast in the same intergalactic TV production as Noah, by then a well-known Hollywood heartthrob. As their on-screen characters grow closer every day, the lines between reality and acting begin to blur. Unable to stay away from each other, AJ and Noah are forced to confront the truth of what happened years ago—and the devastating secret that will send their lives careening apart, even as fate continues to draw them together.

Blending unforgettable characters, explosive chemistry and yearning, and profound emotion, Into the Blue is a journey unlike any other—one that asks: What does it mean to diverge from the script to forge your own story?

a messy childhood love story that makes us wonder, “will this stand the test of time?” this was fun, quirky, emotional, a book that pulled me in from the first few pages! it’s definitely on the longer side for romance (we all know how i feel about that) and don’t be discouraged if you were confused......more

Goodreads review by Bailee on April 17, 2026

There are good books, bad books, just okay books… and then there are books like this. Books that make you feel so deeply it feels like you know these characters to their core. AJ and Noah’s story is definitely not a perfect one, it’s not easy or clean. It’s messy, heartbreaking and frustrating. But......more

ended up really enjoying this one! the first 20% was a bit slow for me and it took some time to get into, but once it picked up i was fully invested. the characters were frustrating in a way that felt intentional. they made questionable choices and i don’t think i actually liked either of them, but t......more
