Overview

The Year I Chose You

Mia Ellis has just graduated from high school, but instead of celebrating, all she can think about is everything she never did.

She never joined photography club. Never stood up to the girls who made her feel invisible. Never went to the parties, dances, or lake nights everyone else will remember forever. And she definitely never told Lila Hart, the beautiful popular girl she has loved from a distance for years, how she really felt.

Then Mia falls asleep wishing she could do senior year all over again.

And wakes up on the first day.

This time, Mia refuses to waste her second chance. She wears the clothes she was too scared to wear, talks back to the mean girls, signs up for the things she secretly wanted, and finally starts a conversation with Lila.

To Mia’s shock, Lila flirts back.

As their sweet sapphic romance blooms through school dances, lakeside parties, secret smiles, almost-kisses, and first love, Mia begins to believe this impossible year might be the life she was always meant to choose. But the more she changes the future, the less certain it becomes. And when her secret starts to threaten the girl she is falling for, Mia has to learn that bravery is not about knowing what happens next.

It is about choosing who you want to be, even when you are scared.

The Year I Chose You is a heartfelt YA sapphic romance about second chances, first love, time-loop magic, high school regrets, queer joy, and the courage to finally live out loud.
