Exit Lane: An 831 Stories Romance
"The best of When Harry Met Sally, Normal People, and Lady Bird all wrapped up in a vintage button-down and sprinkled with Midwestern charm." —Joanna Goddard, Cup of Jo

The debut novel from beloved writer Erika Veurink, this is a deeply personal and propulsive romance laced with humor, heat, and high-octane yearning. Perfect for fans of You, Again, One Day, and People We Meet on Vacation.

After a postgraduation drive from Iowa City to NYC, Teddy and Marin have both had enough of each other to last the rest of their lives. But that doesn't stop their paths from crossing over eight rocky years, punctuated by chance encounters and transatlantic visits, on a journey that eventually brings them right back to where it all started.

"You are going to stay up way past your bedtime devouring this novella." —Molly Prentiss, author of Tuesday Nights in 1980 and Old Flame

"Erika Veurink pulls off a fun, charming read with just enough scandalous young-people behavior to remind you that we are all a mess and that falling in love is a journey that's well worth the adventure and the many detours." —Aminatou Sow, coauthor of the NYT bestseller Big Friendship

"I've already read it twice." —Caro Claire Burke, author of the forthcoming Yesteryear
