The perfect love story built on the biggest secret

When two strangers find themselves locked in a cinema overnight, it could be the start of a perfect meet cute but as Maggie is about to discover, real life is so much more complicated than fiction...

Every Friday, Maggie attends the last showing at her local indie cinema. Then one night, bookseller Jack goes to the same screening. These two strangers are about to fall in love there s just one complication: Jack knows nothing about Maggie. Maggie knows everything about Jack.

Over a series of Fridays, Maggie and Jack get to know each other, but the closer they grow, the bigger the secrets that could tear them in two. Because Maggie has a unique gift: with just the lightest touch, she knows exactly what someone is thinking. That s how she knows how Jack s picture-perfect life has fallen apart. And that she isn t the total stranger he thinks she is.

Will she risk everything to tell him the truth or is true love something that only happens in the movies?
