From New York Times-bestselling author George M. Johnson and USA Today-bestselling author Leah Johnson comes a revolutionary new holiday romcom for fans of HEARTSTOPPER. Won in a hotly contested auction!

There’s Always Next Year is a dual POV, double love story following cousins–Andy and Dominique–who accidentally blow up their lives on New Year's Eve and race to put them back together before New Year's Day is over.

Andy, a teen activist who desperately wants to stop the gentrification that’s changing her hometown and threatening her family’s business, is trying to admit her feelings for a longtime unrequited crush while also ignoring a spark between herself and the electric, new girl-next-door.

Dominique is an influencer on the verge of his big break but travels home with a potential solution to the family financial crisis. When he runs into his former best friend, unresolved feelings emerge -- and in a small town, there's no where to hide. Can Dominique rise to superstardom without leaving the ones he loves behind?

Set in the small-town of Oakrun, Indiana, Andy and Dominique have just 24 hours to fix their love lives. What if they fail? Well, there’s always next year.
