Almost, Maine

Ages 13 to 18

A YA novel based on the acclaimed play about the many stages of love—both funny and, at times, heartbreaking.

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.

Based on a popular play by the same name, Almost, Maine is a charming and romantic collection of stories that will have you thinking about love in an entirely new way.
