Scratch that. There are many reasons why I haven’t been home—family drama, small-town gossip, and my career probably take up the top three spots. But when my career stalls and I get devastating family news, I’m back to the very place I ran away from a decade ago. The last thing I want to do is pick up right where I left off, and as I'm drawn to Noah, my terrifyingly gorgeous high school bully, I know that things have certainly changed. I was supposed to run away and never look back, but I’m stuck dealing with my past and planning for the future. But all I want to do is live in the now.

What an outstanding jump into new adult fiction!" [The Uncorked Librarian](https://www.theuncorkedlibrarian.com/in-the-now-by-jennifer-ann-shore/): "Are you looking for an indie rom-com to read? Don’t miss In The Now by Jennifer Ann Shore. Uncover a In The Now summary, reviews, and book information for this pop-culture book set in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. *In The Now* is the perfect quick and delicious feel-good read. Shore bravely answers the question: ‘Can you go home again’ while focusing on themes of self-worth, forgiveness, and what binds the fabric of our community and family." [N. N. Light](https://www.nnlightsbookheaven.com/post/in-the-now-bookreview): "*In the Now* is an unexpected story and one I wasn’t sure I was going to like when I first started reading. Falling in love with your high school bully? How is that even possible? I was tormented in high school by a particular boy who gleefully picked on me every day. I can’t imagine *ever* having romantic feelings for him. But somehow, Jennifer Ann Shore made it believable." [Bitty Book Nook's Review](https://bittybooknook.blogspot.com/2021/02/a-review-of-in-now.html): "I loved, loved, loved this book. I simply adore the enemies-to-lovers trope in romance novels, and *In the Now* was a fun read that did a great job of scratching that itch for me." ### Want updates on new releases and promotions directly to your inbox?
