From the bestselling author of Rules for Ghosting comes a soul-stirring, romantic novel about a jilted singer-songwriter, her unexpected passenger, and the road trip of a lifetime, hailed as “a beautiful exploration of queerness, Jewishness, and full-throated love” (TJ Alexander, author of A Gentleman’s Gentleman).
When Delilah Cohen’s much more famous fiancée leaves her at the altar right before Delilah is supposed to start recording her first solo album, she’s left with a notebook of unusable love songs and a honeymoon road trip that’s now a last-chance search for new inspiration. She doesn’t expect to fall for the mysterious passenger she picks up two hours in, but what’s more inspiring than a rebound with a built-in expiration date?
But there’s more to Emmett than meets the eye. Emmett is a golem, a human-ish being of Jewish folklore, created from clay to serve a now-deceased master, who gave them one final, fatal task. Road-tripping with Delilah is the first thing they’ve ever chosen for themself. It’s not supposed to change their destination . . . but the longer Emmett spends with Delilah, who has plenty of secrets of her own, the more their ending feels like something to fight, rather than something set in stone.
As the California coast brings Delilah’s writing deadline—and Emmett’s fate—closer with every passing mile, Delilah has to decide whether making an unforgettable album is worth losing a love she never expected to find.

Critic reviews
“Shelly Jay Shore takes us on a journey across the country and into two artists’ souls . . . A beautiful exploration of queerness, Jewishness, and full-throated love.”—TJ Alexander, USA Today bestselling author of A Gentleman’s Gentleman
“This road trip had everything I could have wanted: camper vans and queer history, s’mores and Jewish mythology made flesh (more or less), a gorgeously wrought love story, and a poignant reminder to do what scares us.”—Rebecca Podos, Lambda Award–winning co-author of Homeward for a Spell
“Should be read with your feet up on the dashboard as your lover drives through the woods with the windows rolled down. . . . This is the happily-ever-after I craved in my soul; no one writes romance like Shore.”—Ella Dawson, author of But How Are You, Really
“Heartfelt, swoony, and endlessly enchanting . . . I will read anything Shelly Jay Shore writes!”—Nadia El-Fassi, author of Love at First Fright
