November 9 A Novel by Colleen Hoover

A high-concept, fast-paced contemporary romance that explores the boundaries of love, creative inspiration, and personal trauma, the plot follows Fallon, a young woman rebuilding her life after a devastating fire, and Ben, an aspiring novelist. Meeting by chance the day before Fallon moves across the country, they establish an unconventional pact to meet on the exact same date—November 9—every single year for five years, with no digital communication or social media contact allowed in between. Written in alternating perspectives, the novel moves with intense emotional momentum, transforming each annual meeting into a high-stakes emotional capsule that takes a dramatic, unexpected turn as deep-seated secrets unravel, forcing both characters to confront the fine line between artistic expression and emotional manipulation.
