The second chance cinema : a novel  Cover Image Book Book

The second chance cinema : a novel / Thea Weiss.

Weiss, Thea, (author.).

Summary:

"At the end of a cobblestone alley, shrouded by fog and empty storefronts, lies a glittering magical cinema, with "The Story of You" presented on the marquee. Ellie and Drake, a newly engaged couple, stumble upon it while walking around their city late one night. Ellie, a dreamer who has made a career of writing about nearly forgotten businesses, is immediately intrigued. Tickets in hand, they make their way into the deserted red-velvet auditorium and to their great surprise, see projected before them memories from their respective pasts. Risk-averse Drake is reluctant when Ellie insists they return to the cinema, but he finally concedes. There's a moment she's haunted by from her past that she doesn't fully remember. If she could only watch what happened, then maybe she'd finally know she wasn't to blame. Meanwhile, Drake is concerned that Ellie will get the wrong idea about a past relationship from what she sees on the screen. As their memories inch closer to the day they met, they realize they both have been keeping secrets from each other. With their wedding on the horizon, Ellie and Drake will be forced to answer: do you need to love who someone was, to love who they are now? Brimming with nostalgia, heart, and a dash of magic, The Second Chance Cinema is both an enchanting escape and a thought-provoking examination of how our past shapes who we are"-- Provided by publisher.
