Book Description:
When Darby left Oak Falls for college in NYC, all he wanted was to get as far away as possible, find a community where he could start fresh and finally forget about his childhood best friend, Michael (and just how painfully their friendship ended). Now, about to turn thirty, Darby suddenly finds himself unemployed. With no better alternative, and questioning where he really belongs, he moves back to his hometown. But the changes in Oak Falls make him feel off-balance. And Michael's still here, their relationship still distant and strained. One thing is familiar: In Between Books, Darby's refuge growing up and eventual high school job. When he walks into the bookstore now, Darby feels an eerie sense of déjà vu - everything is exactly the same. Even the newspapers are dated 2009. And behind the register is a teen who looks a lot like Darby did at sixteen...
