Klappentext

"A lovable cast of characters anchors this heartfelt novel about life transitions." --- People

"The kind of book that feels like home. A brand-new all-time favorite." --- Becky Albertalli , #1 New York Times bestselling author of Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda and Amelia, If Only

From the author of The In-Between Bookstore, the sweet, unforgettable story of a trans man in his thirties who books a Cape Cod cottage for one lonely summer---only to have its magic bring him visitors from the past and romance where he least expects it, perfect for fans of TJ Klune and Ashley Poston.

Harlowe could use a break. With his academic future over, just like his relationship with his long-term boyfriend Jackson, a suspiciously cheap summer rental on the Cape feels like just the escape he needs.

But when he arrives at the picturesque seaside cottage, he's alarmed to find his discouraging former professor in the living room. His father making coffee in the kitchen. And a handsome young repairman fixing things in the bedroom. Worst of all, Jackson is in the bathroom. None of them will leave. No one else can see them. And they won't leave him alone.

The house isn't magic only for Harlowe, and as the summer grows hot and thick with tourists, old wounds and fresh secrets---both in and outside its walls---begin to transform him. It's clear the house is trying to tell him something, and he's sure it has to do with the mysterious repairman who suddenly seems to be everywhere he looks... But can Harlowe let go of the past long enough to listen?

Evoking all the windswept dunes and Fourth of July fireworks of a perfect Cape Cod day, The House of Now and Then asks who you would find, if all your unfinished business was just behind one door.
