What November 9 is about
Fallon is a day away from moving across the country when she meets Ben, an aspiring novelist. They spend her last day in Los Angeles together, and her eventful life gives him the spark for his book. They continue to meet on the same date each year, and so the story follows them through the relationships and troubles of their separate lives.
Over time Fallon begins to wonder whether Ben has been honest with her, or whether he has been shaping a perfect version of events to suit his plot. Colleen Hoover, a #1 New York Times bestselling author, uses that doubt to ask a pointed question: can something still be called a love story if it ends in heartbreak? A good pick for readers who enjoy romance built around timing, truth, and the stories we tell about ourselves.
