Books like The Girl He Used to Know by Tracey Garvis Graves
Annika Rosen, an English major at the University of Illinois, feels most at ease among books and chess rather than crowded social scenes. When Jonathan Hoffman joins the chess club, he meets her—shy, brilliant, and eventually captive of her authenticity. Their bond deepens as they encourage each other to grow, confronting the strains of building a life together. Life, however, pulls them apart, and a tragic event forces them into separate paths. Ten years later, the universe reunites Annika—now a librarian—and Jonathan—an emerging Wall Street professional—while both grapple with lingering fears and the possibility of a second chance.
