Time travel weaves the past and present of two strangers together in this whimsical romance from beloved authors Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-Broka.

For Gwen Bailey, taking a yellow taxicab in NYC is a magical experience. Literally. When Gwen hails any taxi and mutters a date in her past, she is transported to that time. As a perfectionist, it’s allowed her to achieve the perfect GPA, perfect performance reviews, perfect everything. And if she makes a mistake, well, Gwen can just hop in a cab and correct it. She’s never met anyone else with this ability…until Ian.

For Ian Knox, time travel is for helping the people he loves. He has infinite chances to look out for his family, to hang out with the brother who needs him more than his sibling lets on—even to prevent life-changing tragedy. So what if he overextends himself or feels himself losing touch with the present? There will be time for that too, right? But everything changes when he meets Gwen.

As Gwen and Ian run into each other across New York City an irresistible attraction forms, and the complications of time travel begin to spiderweb across their timelines. They’ll have to decide between an imperfect future together or a past free of heartache.
“Sometimes the perfect book comes along at the perfect time. For me? This is it. A completely unique elegy to the moments we miss, the moments we make, and the moments that matter.”—Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author
