The Night We Met by Abby Jimenez

This laugh-out-loud, gut-tugging romance from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Say You’ll Remember Me is all about friendship, found-family vibes, and the one tiny choice that can flip your whole life upside down. Deluxe edition note: one limited printing only, featuring designed edges and color endpapers—a total shelf trophy.

Larissa’s life changes the night she chooses who to ride home with after a concert. Somewhere in that split second, she meets Chris—her perfect match in every way that counts: best-friend energy, shared books, co-parenting a slightly feral rescue Yorkie, and serious opinions about bread (pumpernickel supremacy). With Chris, life finally feels easy… even with all her side hustles and scraping-by stress.

Except Larissa didn’t go home with Chris that night—she chose his best friend, and he became her boyfriend. Chris wants her happy, even if it means watching from the sidelines while it slowly wrecks him. Because making a move wouldn’t just change everything—it would destroy someone else.

How can something that feels so right be so impossible?
