Perfect for Mother’s Day, Until The Last Star Fades is a slow-burn romance and a hopeful, inspiring, life-affirming novel about the incomparable bonds we share with our mothers. Give with tissues, give with love. In her senior year at NYU, Riley Hope appears to be on top of the world. With a loving mother who makes Lorelai Gilmore look like a parenting slacker, ride-or-die friends, and a longtime boyfriend destined for the NHL, she puts on a smile for the world. But behind it, she’s drowning. And then, Ben Fagan comes crashing into her life. Twenty-three-years old, British, and alone in the Big Apple after a disastrous pilot season in LA, the struggling actor is looking for an escape. As they form an unlikely bond, Riley keeps her reality from Ben so that he remains a happy refuge. But how long can she hold back the truth…and is Ben keeping his own secrets, too?
