An engaged couple discovers a magical movie theater that challenges what they know about themselves—and each other—in this nostalgic and ‘utterly engrossing’ (Margarita Montimore, USA TODAY bestselling author) debut that is perfect for fans of The Midnight Library and In Five Years.
At the end of a dark alley, a magical cinema glitters with The Story of You on the marquee. When Ellie and her fiancé, Drake, stumble upon it during a late-night walk, they’re shocked to discover what’s playing inside the red-velvet auditorium: their formative memories.
Uneasy about what the theater might reveal, Drake hesitates, but Ellie, haunted by a fractured night from her past she can’t fully remember, insists they return. As their memories projected on the screen inch closer to the present, they realize they’re both keeping secrets from each other.
With their wedding on the horizon, Ellie and Drake must decide if revisiting their pasts will alter their vision of a future together.
‘Magical, cozy, and romantic’ (Meg Shaffer, USA TODAY bestselling author), The Second Chance Cinema is both an enchanting escape and a thoughtful exploration of how memory shapes who we are—and who we choose to be.
