Seventeen years to fall in love. One New Year’s Eve for it to fall apart . . .
When childhood neighbours and best friends Florence Parker and Tom Sinclair were on the precipice of graduating college, they made a pact they hoped would link them forever: every year at their families’ lavish New Year’s Eve party, they’d each write five secret predictions about the other’s year ahead. Whoever got the most guesses correct would make one big life decision for the other.
So it went for nearly a decade – until the final year, when one letter shattered their friendship.
Now, Tom and Florence are home for the holidays and haven’t spoken in over a year. To keep up appearances, they’re forced to plan the New Year’s Eve party together. But hidden in the tense silences and charged interactions is a wealth of history they can’t escape, and feelings they’ve never spoken aloud.
Their entire history is wrapped up in each other. But now they must decide if their future will be together – and if their love is big enough to overcome their past . . .
This gorgeously sweeping, will-they-won’t-they love story will stay with you long after the final page. Fans of Carley Fortune, Abby Jimenez and B.K. Borison will be hooked!

Reviews
A pitch-perfect friends-to-lovers romance, full of heart-aching longing and deeply felt emotion.
That blurry, shifting line between friends and more-than-friends makes for an addicting read.
A gorgeous slow burn friends to lovers romance. For anyone who's ever felt 'what if?' about a platonic friendship, this is a beautiful coming of age story about growing up together.
My new gold standard for best friends to lovers. In Every Future, It's Us is whip-smart, expertly plotted, and achingly romantic. With this book, Katie Naymon solidly establishes herself as the mayor of Yearntown-and frankly, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else.
A tried and true romance story of two friends slowly, deliciously making their way to lovers over the course of many years, with taut, fresh writing that kept me engaged throughout. Katie Naymon has a talent for drawing flawed but winning characters who struggle to see themselves-and sometimes, the people closest to them-clearly. The result is a deeply human romance, full of heart and longing.
In Every Future, It's Us is childhood-friends-to-lovers at its best-the history, the fear, the yearning. It's impossible not to sink into her rich prose and fall madly in love with her artfully-rendered characters, flaws and all. In every future, I hope I'm reading a Katie Naymon book.
Sweeping, sexy, and the best sort of messy, In Every Future, It's Us has everything I could want in a love story: unmatched lyrical prose, two characters who just feel inevitable, scream-into-your-pillow tension, and one of the best executions of friends-to-lovers I've ever read. This book feels like New Year's Eve-bubbling, festive, full of promise.
Mark my words: In Every Future, It's Us by Katie Naymon will live forevermore in the friends-to-lovers hall of fame. Florence and Tom are the textbook definition of an end-all-be-all romance, and Katie's portrayal of their relationship evolution is the textbook definition of perfect. Her sophomore novel is compulsively readable, with more sparks than a frayed live wire and truly masterful character growth. This book seals the deal that I would follow one of Katie's love stories anywhere.
