Spotlight and Giveaway: Overdue

Stephanie Perkins' adult romance debut, Overdue, is now available and we're excited to feature it here today! It sounds really intriguing and the cover is so comforting to look at. Thanks to Saturday Books, we have FIVE copies to give away!


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.

"Joyful and exuberant, Overdue is achingly romantic! It will melt your heart and keep you turning pages long into the night."

I'll echo an earlier comment because it applies to me so well - definitely overdue for a pedicure and a massage - basically overdue for some self care activities.
