Never Over

Clare Gilmore

Paige Lancaster, a 25-year-old songwriter on the verge of a record deal, is told her lyrics lack emotional depth, so she impulsively reaches out to Liam Bishop, her college boyfriend and the source of her biggest heartbreak, and asks him to date her again over the summer so she can relive (and rewrite) that pain into her music. Told across a dual timeline of their college relationship and their present-day reunion on Liam's concert tour, the story follows the two exes navigating old wounds, family baggage, and rekindled chemistry as they figure out whether their love is worth risking again. It's a tender, banter-filled second-chance romance about art, vulnerability, and reconciling with the people who shaped you.
