From the bestselling author of Rules for Ghosting comes a soul-stirring, romantic novel about a jilted singer-songwriter, her unexpected hitchhiker, and the road trip of a lifetime, hailed as “a beautiful exploration of queerness, Jewishness, and full-throated love” (TJ Alexander, author of A Gentleman’s Gentleman).
When Delilah Cohen’s much more famous fiancée leaves her at the altar right before Delilah is supposed to start recording her first solo album, she finds herself with a notebook full of love songs that no longer make sense. Picking up a hitchhiker two hours into the road trip that was supposed to be her honeymoon seems as good a way as any to get her groove back. The last thing she expects is to start falling for her mysterious new passenger, but what’s more inspiring than a rebound with a built-in expiration date?
But there’s more to Emmett than meets the eye. Emmett is a golem, a human-ish being of Jewish mythology who was created from clay to serve a now-deceased master. Emmett’s final task is to make their way back to the California cave where they were made in order to undo the magic that brought them to life. But the longer Emmett spends with Delilah—who has plenty of secrets of her own—as they cross the country to visit historical queer locales from Brooklyn to Los Angeles, the more their ending feels like something to fight, rather than something set in stone.
As the California coast brings Delilah’s writing deadline—and Emmett’s fate—closer with every passing mile, Delilah has to decide just what song she wants to write . . . and whether writing the album of a lifetime is worth losing a love she never expected to find.

Critic reviews
“Shelly Jay Shore takes us on a journey across the country and into two artists’ souls . . . A beautiful exploration of queerness, Jewishness, and full-throated love.”—TJ Alexander, USA Today bestselling author of A Gentleman’s Gentleman
“This road trip had everything I could have wanted: camper vans and queer history, s’mores and Jewish mythology made flesh (more or less), a gorgeously wrought love story, and a poignant reminder to do what scares us.”—Rebecca Podos, Lambda Award–winning co-author of Homeward for a Spell
“Should be read with your feet up on the dashboard as your lover drives through the woods with the windows rolled down. . . . This is the happily-ever-after I craved in my soul; no one writes romance like Shore.”—Ella Dawson, author of But How Are You, Really
“Heartfelt, swoony, and endlessly enchanting . . . I will read anything Shelly Jay Shore writes!”—Nadia El-Fassi, author of Love at First Fright
