There's Always Next Year
by Leah Johnson and George M. Johnson

Dominique is an influencer on the verge of a major brand deal when an old friend resurfaces, forcing him to confront feelings he thought were buried. In a small town where everyone is watching, can he pursue fame without losing the people he loves?
There’s Always Next Year is a witty, chaotic dual love story about second chances and racing against time.

With his summer seemingly ruined, Bobby takes a job at his uncle’s quiet bookstore, where he discovers a talent for matching the right book to every customer’s problem. Then Luke, an unfairly attractive and staunchly anti-romantic lifeguard, walks through the door. As Bobby navigates quippy banter, forced proximity, and grumpy-sunshine tropes, he wonders whether he should go all out—or if grand gestures really need to be so grand.
