A heartbreaking story about finding yourself and your people, from the bestselling author of If I Stay, a major film starring Chloe Grace Moretz. For fans of The Perks of Being a Wallflower, John Green and Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist.

'I got this whole-body feeling . . . it was like a message from future me to present me, telling me that in some way we weren't just bound to happen, that we had, in some sense, already happened. It felt . . . inevitable.'

So far, the inevitable hasn't worked out so well for Aaron Stein.

While his friends have gone to college and moved on with their lives, Aaron's been left behind in the Cascade Mountains of Washington State, running a failing bookshop with his dad, Ira. What he needs is a lucky break, the good kind of inevitable.

And then he meets Hannah. Incredible Hannah - magical, musical, brave and clever. Could she be the answer? And could they - their relationship, their meeting - possibly be the inevitable Aaron's been waiting for?
