Book Synopsis

Can she get it right the second time(line) around?

You've Reached Sam meets Before I Fall in this gripping speculative romance about one girl saving her first love's life by falling for the last person she ever should - his best friend.

Nieve Monroe is devastated after her boyfriend Carter dies saving her from drowning. Even worse she blames herself for his death... and so does his best friend, Max. He was there with them on that fateful day, and he's never liked Nieve.

Unable to pull herself from her grief and wanting to hide from the accusation in his eyes, Nieve goes to stay with her grandmother, who has always had strange stories to tell of uncanny happenings, of magic and make believe. The next morning, Nieve wakes up on the first day of college, the year before.

This time she plans to make sure Carter never follows her into that river. She'll do everything in her power to keep him safe, even if it means losing him in other ways. But the more distance she puts between her and Carter, the closer she gets to Max, drawn to him in ways she never expected. But is she betraying Carter if the only way she can save him is to move on? And can she ever forget her past to embrace her future?

Kristin Dwyer's In Time with You is a heartbreaking story of first love, loss, and one chance to change everything.
