There is something you should know before we begin. The Book of Us does not end with you and Percy Jackson together. I wish there were a gentler way to tell you. There is no loophole on the final page. No last-minute change of heart. This is a story about a first love that does not end when the relationship does. At the end of summer, you will board a plane toward the future you’ve spent years dreaming of. Percy will stay. Neither of you will change your mind. And, perhaps cruelest of all, neither of you will stop loving the other first. Sometimes love remains after us cannot. That’s the heartbreak waiting at the end of this story. But August isn’t here yet. There is still one last summer to be young, stupid, happy, and hopelessly in love. Before the final page of The Book of Us, there is still a little more of you left. A little more laughter. A little more love. A little more time where us still means you and Percy. The ending will come soon enough. For now, there are still pages left. Because not every love has to last forever to be worth reading again. ——— Based on the song DEAR READER by Peggy
