Into the Blue 🌶️

REESE'S BOOK CLUB PICK • NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

An epic, decades-spanning love story that blazes through the worlds of acting and comedy and charts a connection unlike any other.

In the summer of 2000, AJ Graves dreams of writing for Saturday Night Live; instead, she's stuck working in a video rental store, with slim odds of escaping her small Massachusetts town. Then in walks Noah Drew, the enigmatic and intense scion of the Drew acting dynasty, and her life changes forever. Despite wildly different upbringings, the two forge a deep, cosmic bond, first as friends, then as acting partners—until one day, Noah disappears without a word.

Seven years later, in New York City, AJ is shocked to find herself cast in the same intergalactic TV production as Noah, by then a well-known Hollywood heartthrob. As their on-screen characters grow closer every day, the lines between reality and acting begin to blur.

"The truth is there's no such thing as a normal life. There's just the time you get and how you spend it."
