ARE YOU READY TO GO BACK?

 Tia is sleepwalking through life. Once an ambitious student and promising actor, now she’s an aimless college dropout dragging herself to her dog-walking job . . . until she follows the sound of a ringing bell to a mysterious tunnel in Central Park, a tunnel that can transport her back in time, back to the summer of Natty.

 When MIT-bound Natty Poole delivered the valedictory speech of a lifetime, Tia finally noticed him, the awkward boy who’d always adored her. Despite their looming departures for college, they couldn’t help but fall in love. But their perfect summer came to a tragic end, separating Tia and Natty seemingly forever.

 Although visiting the tunnel weakens her, Tia remains obsessed with seeing Natty and finding a way to change the past—so obsessed that she’s neglecting the present, which includes the handsome and persuasive film student Razor Ford, who is dead set on having Tia star in his short film.

 Every moment spent with Razor feels like a betrayal of Natty, but there’s something about Razor that keeps pulling her in. Torn between then and now, how can Tia move on when her heart and the tunnel won’t let her?
