The Autumn I Found Love

Two childhood best friends risk their hearts to bridge the gap between holding on and letting go in this sweepingly sweet coming-of-age romance from Georgina L. Russell. For as long as she can remember, Emma Hartley's world has been anchored by the boy next door. Every autumn at Maple Lake is a familiar routine of shared secrets and quiet longing. But this year, the comfortable boundaries of their lifelong friendship are finally erased, igniting a romantic spark neither of them can ignore.
Just as Emma gets the boy she's always wanted, reality delivers a devastating blow: Noah has accepted an early offer to Stanford, three thousand miles away from Emma's own dreams of art school in the East. The only person who truly understands the weight of their impending separation is Noah himself-a brilliant, ambitious engineer who is terrified that building his future means leaving his heart behind.
Desperate to hold on, they enter into a fragile pact to make their remaining days together count. But if they allow themselves to fall completely into this new, intoxicating romance, they risk destroying a decade of friendship when the inevitable goodbye arrives. The two forge a breathtaking connection despite the ticking clock, but as their love deepens, so does the risk of losing each other to the distance.
Emma and Noah must find a way to span the terrifying gap between their individual ambitions and their shared hearts, learning that true love isn't just about standing side-by-side-it's about building a bridge strong enough to weather the storm.
