The only thing missing from her perfectly organized plan is the engagement ring she’s sure her long-term boyfriend is about to give her… except instead, he suggests they take a “break” while she’s abroad. Cue Ava’s carefully stacked life toppling like a Jenga tower.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mb-1 mt-2 whitespace-pre-line leading-relaxed first:mt-0\" data-sentry-component=\"P\" data-sentry-source-file=\"p.tsx\"\u003eEnter James Massini, the late-to-the-airport pickup who expects a carefree college kid and gets Ava instead—nearly thirty, intensely Type A, and armed with a superiority complex and a color-coded mental checklist. When Ava ends up assigned as a TA in James’s class, he makes it his personal mission to prove there’s more to life than plans and lists—especially when their banter is half the fun (and, annoyingly, so is he).\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mb-1 mt-2 whitespace-pre-line leading-relaxed first:mt-0\" data-sentry-component=\"P\" data-sentry-source-file=\"p.tsx\"\u003eAs Ava lets Italy—and James—pull her into a messier, more beautiful way of living, she starts to find herself in the chaos. Of course, it’s right when things begin to feel clear again that her past comes rushing back, forcing her to decide what she actually wants… not what she thought she was supposed to want.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Romantasy Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47733516173571,"sku":null,"price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0767\/7843\/8915\/files\/Wishyouweren_there.png?v=1770829233","url":"https:\/\/romantasybookshop.com\/products\/wish-you-werent-here-by-christy-schillig","provider":"Romantasy Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
