"A yearning rush that builds into a full tidal wave of desire." - Stephanie Perkins, New York Times bestselling author of Overdue and Anna and the French Kiss

Tonight, inside the Metropolitan Museum of Art - somewhere between the hours of 8 PM and 5 AM - Auden Peck will fall in love with Miki Kawamura.

That''s Miki''s plan anyway. And the plan is destiny.

Her grandparents fell in love after accidentally being locked in the Met overnight in 1965. And so now, after too many almost-confessions, hopeless romantic Miki will finally tell her best friend Auden that she loves him by retracing her grandparents'' love story through the museum''s hallowed halls.

But destiny has other plans. Because it''s not Auden who joins Miki on her midnight tour . . . it''s Lou McSweeney. The world''s most jaded cynic - and Miki''s ex.

How can she possibly bare her heart to Auden when she''s stuck sparring with the boy who broke it? Is her masterpiece of a plan truly written in the stars? Or will the night paint a wholly different picture?

An irresistible and instant classic about the thrilling, often infuriating, rush of first love, guaranteed to sweep you off your feet, perfect for fans of Lynn Painter and Jenny Han.

Review quote:
The Museum of Modern Love is a yearning rush that builds into a full tidal wave of desire. This romance is everything I also appreciate about works of great art; the beauty is immediate, but it keeps drawing the eye because it''s complicated, unknowable, and ultimately redemptive.

This overnight adventure is a tale of hearts whispering secrets in the dark, reminding us that love is all around - but is almost never how we imagined it. Funny, soft, and full of undeniable chemistry, The Museum of Modern Love perfectly illustrates how love can be found in the most unexpected places, in the most unexpected ways, and between the most unexpected people. ­It''ll have you swooning and rooting for second-chances.
