Taking Flight
(2025)(The sixth book in the Of Campus Schemes, Hopes, and Dreams series)
A novel by Tamara Hart Heiner
I came home for a wedding.
What I didn’t expect was a nostalgic punch to the face.
While my best friend preps for her fairytale wedding (complete with marshmallow fluff and unsolicited opinions), I’m just trying to hold it together. Being back in Arkansas is like walking into a time capsule: everything smells like memories and heartbreak. And somehow, all of them smell like Owen.
The boy I used to love.
The boy I maybe-still-love-but-who-lives-in-another-dimension.
Also: the boy I never answered after his last letter. Oops.
Meanwhile, back in the real world (aka college), I’m balancing a not-boyfriend and trying to pass classes without getting expelled for harboring an illegal fish tank.
Adulting is hard. Sometimes you break curfews. Sometimes you fall for people who are emotionally unavailable. And sometimes you sit on your best friend’s kitchen counter eating frosting out of the jar while wondering if love ever gets less complicated.
It doesn’t.
But maybe flying solo doesn’t mean flying alone.
Perfect for fans of Elle Kennedy, Kenna King, and messy, beautiful New Adult chaos.
Includes: one confusing love triangle, late-night confessions, sarcastic emotional damage control, and at least one (or ten) fish that shouldn’t be there.
Genre: Literary Fiction
