Overview

Eight minutes. One table. Zero expectations.

Eliza Moore didn’t want to be at a speed dating event. She didn’t even want to be dating—full stop. But after one too many nudges from her best friend (and one too many nights in with her fern, Margot), she agrees to show up.

That’s when she meets Kate.

Kate has a slightly odd voice, wild 80s hair, and an emergency sweater that looks like it’s seen some things. She also has the kindest eyes Eliza’s ever seen—and a spark that catches Eliza off guard.

They only have eight minutes. But something about Kate lingers.

Then come the texts. The pizza. The walk by the beach. And a question that changes everything: Would it feel the same if I looked different?

Because Kate has a secret. And Eliza has no idea what’s about to fall into her life.
