A SPARKLING ADULT DEBUT FROM BELOVED NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR STEPHANIE PERKINS

"[Narrator] Eva Kaminsky flawlessly introduces this charming slow-burn love story and its relatable characters...Kaminsky's exuberant style enhances this enjoyable story, a love letter to books, libraries, and librarians." — Kirkus (Earphones Award Winner)

"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

Is it time to renew love or start a new chapter?

Ingrid Dahl, a cheerful twenty-nine-year-old librarian in the cozy mountain town of Ridgetop, North Carolina, has been happily dating her college boyfriend, Cory, for eleven years without ever discussing marriage. But when Ingrid’s sister announces her engagement to a woman she’s only been dating for two years, Ingrid and Cory feel pressured to consider their future. Neither has ever been with anybody else, so they make an unconventional decision. They'll take a one-month break to date other people, then they'll reunite and move toward marriage. Ingrid even has someone in mind: her charmingly grumpy coworker, Macon Nowakowski, on whom she’s secretly crushed for years. But plans go awry, and when the month ends, Ingrid and Cory realize they’re not ready to resume their relationship—and Ingrid’s harmless crush on Macon has turned into something much more complicated.

Overdue is a beautiful, slow-burn romance full of lust and longing about new beginnings and finding your way.

A Macmillan Audio production from Saturday Books
