not this time;

in which ella & heeseung,
a monegasque translator in
her first year of college,, &
a south korean high school
graduate making the most
of his gap year ─ board the
same train, each one with
a different destination.

their oh so different lives get
all tangled up when heeseung
proposes to ella the crazy idea
of disembarking with him in
vienna and spending a night
together in the unfamiliar to
them city.

an idyllic fifteen-hour long
journey begins for the two
romantics ─ who indulge
themselves in long & deep
conversations about love,,
life,, hopeless dreams and
the future ─ knowing that
once the sun rises,, they'll
be parting ways eternally.

first things first, happiest
of birthdays to our ace !!
i've never imagined that
it would be possible for a
person i've never met in
real life to bring me such
happiness and comfort !!
hoping that 22 treats you
well angel <3

this book is inspired by the
movie "before sunrise" ─
which i recently decided to
watch after it sitting on my
watch list for years :,) i was
fascinated by the fact that
the director could turn the
most mundane & humane
thing into the greatest and
most beautiful movie of all
times :3

i felt greatly inspired by it
& thought that it would be
a nice challenge for me to
write a book of this sort ─
i hope i did well enough &
managed to capture your
interest <33
