Evie doesn’t believe in true love anymore—not since her parents decided to get a divorce.  Her newfound skepticism has her donating all her favorite romance novels to the neighborhood little free library.  But her trip takes a magical twist, and Evie heads home with a book on ballroom dancing and a mission to believe in love again.  Enter X, the handsome musician grandson of the owners of a local dance studio who’s been roped into dancing in a competition with Evie.  Evie’s determined not to fall for him—how can it be worth all the heartbreak?  Nicola Yoon is back with a stunning story about Black love and living in the moment.
