And as a teen, Macy has more to worry about than which girl Elliot is taking to the prom. But a chance encounter forces her to confront the truth: what happened to make Macy stop speaking to Elliot? Ultimately, they’re separated not by time or physical remoteness but by emotional distance-Elliot and Macy always kept their relationship casual because they went to different schools. In the second, Macy is working as a doctor and engaged to a single father, and she hasn’t spoken to Elliot since their breakup. In the first, Macy Sorensen meets and falls in love with the boy next door, Elliot Petropoulos, in the closet of her dad’s vacation home, where they hide out to discuss their favorite books. Toggling between past and present, two love stories unfold simultaneously. But he doesn’t know why she never forgave him.
