From the best-selling author of The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry: On a bitter-cold day; in the December of his junior year at Harvard; Sam Masur exits a subway car and sees; amid the hordes of people waiting on the platform; Sadie Green. He calls her name. For a moment; she pretends she hasn’t heard him; but then; she turns; and a game begins: a legendary collaboration that will launch them to stardom.
These friends; intimates since childhood; borrow money; beg favors; and; before even graduating college; they have created their first blockbuster; Ichigo. Overnight; the world is theirs. Not even twenty-five years old; Sam and Sadie are brilliant; successful; and rich; but these qualities won’t protect them from their own creative ambitions or the betrayals of their hearts.
