Sometimes you have to ride to the end of the line to find exactly where you belong.
Maya Callahan has spent her entire life performing. With a perfectly curated city life and a frantic mind that runs on contingencies, she has a plan for everything. What she doesn't have a plan for is being stranded at the Wonderland T station on a humid summer night with a dead phone, no wallet, and zero exits.
Enter Leo Carusso. A Revere Beach local living in a 1970s apartment right on the Boulevard, Leo is an expert at being the anchor for everyone around him. He's content with the rhythm of the tides, even if he's secretly just treading water. When he spots a panicked city girl completely out of her element, he offers her exactly what she needs: a quiet presence, zero judgment, and the plastic transit card that is her only ticket home.
What begins as a single, disorienting night under the neon lights of the North Shore becomes an unpredictable summer of salt air, dive bar pizza, and fast-paced banter that feels like a perfectly matched tennis game. Maya keeps finding reasons to return to the beach; Leo keeps finding reasons to let her stay.
But beneath the nostalgic, campy charm of the Revere Beach boardwalk, Maya and Leo are hiding the exact same wound. They are both exhausted from performing for everyone else. And as the summer stretches from Memorial Day to Labor Day, they are about to discover that the most terrifying thrill ride isn't the one at the amusement park-it's finally stopping the act and letting yourself be truly seen.
Warm, witty, and quietly devastating, Meet Me in Wonderland is a beautifully observant contemporary romance perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Carley Fortune, and Abby Jimenez who love a nostalgic summer read with deep emotional undercurrents.
