Love in an almost-town

Set on a winter night beneath the northern lights, *Almost, Maine* gathers a series of encounters in a place poised between Maine and Canada—and even between existing and not quite existing. Its residents experience love as something that can arrive, disappear, or shift in unexpected ways. The collection format makes the town itself the connecting thread, bringing together moments of heartbreak and discovery without centering the book on a single continuous romance. The result is a portrait of a community where questions of love play out across separate stories.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in love-themed fiction.
  • Readers who enjoy short-story collections connected by a shared setting.
  • Readers curious about the play-derived *Almost, Maine*.

Book overview

Based on one of the most popular plays of the last decade, John Cariani's Almost, Maine is a heartwarming and heartbreaking story that will have you thinking about love in an entirely new way.

Welcome to Almost, Maine, a town that's so far north, it's almost not in the United States--it's almost in Canada. And it almost doesn't exist, because its residents never got around to getting organized. So it's just . . . Almost.

One cold, clear Friday night in the middle of winter, while the northern lights hover in the sky above, Almost's residents find themselves falling in and out of love in the strangest ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. Love is lost and found. And life for the people of Almost, Maine will never be the same.

With characters you'll adore in a setting you'll never forget, Almost, Maine is a love story like no other, for fans of "Dear Evan Hansen."
