THIS LOVE STORY IS ABOUT TO BE REWRITTEN
Cambridge University student Joe Greene dreams of a future where his words will echo through the ages.
Then, the future quite literally finds him – in the form of Esi. She’s part of a time-traveling tour to witness history's greatest moments. In Esi’s era, Joe is as renowned as Shakespeare. And he's about to meet Diana, a fellow student, who will become his muse and the subject of his famous love poems.
But Esi is harbouring a secret. Something will happen at Cambridge this year that will wreck Esi’s life, and she’s hell-bent on changing it. Until she bumps into Joe, and sends his destiny into a tailspin. To save both their futures, Esi becomes Joe's dating coach, helping him win over Diana. But when Joe starts falling for Esi instead – they both face a crucial question:
Is the future set in stone, or can we rewrite our fates?
