Falling in love was the easy part. Now comes everything after.

Max and Ruby have gone from academic enemies to soulmates—or at least, they hope that's what they are. But when grad school ends and a long summer apart begins, their still-new relationship faces its first real test.

Max comes to Chicago with a secret: a ring in her pocket and a plan to propose. But meeting Ruby's polished, high-achieving family is a disaster from the start. Max says the wrong things, Ruby's ex won't go away, and city life is sensory overload at every turn.

As tensions rise and old doubts resurface, Max begins to wonder if Ruby's love can really weather the realities of life on the spectrum—and Ruby wonders if she's strong enough to be the partner Max deserves.

Can their love survive the hard parts—or will the summer tear them apart for good?
