16 Forever

From acclaimed YA author Lance Rubin of Crying Laughing and the Denton Little series comes 16 Forever, a compulsively readable romantic comedy about Carter Cohen, a boy who every year, on the eve of turning 17, gets kicked back to his 16th birthday—resetting his memory, experiences, and body—while the world moves on normally for everyone else.



Carter Cohen should be 22—except every year, right before his 17th birthday, he loops back to being 16 again, with no memory of anything that happened the year prior.



And this year, like each one before it, on the morning of his 16th birthday, Carter Cohen wakes excited for his birthday, ready to get his driver’s license. Watch out world—these mean streets aren’t ready! But when he gets downstairs and sees his family, something seems … off.



It’s Carter’s 6th time being 16, and when he shows up at school looking just as dazed and confused as he did last year on his birthday, his (now ex-) girlfriend Maggie decides that she has to call it quits. He doesn’t remember her, and she can’t bear re-building a relationship with someone who doesn’t even know her and is just going to forget her again when he turns 16 for the 7th time. It’s better if she just pretends that they never happened.



Except Carter can’t seem to keep away from her. Sensing that there’s more to their story than Maggie’s letting on, Carter tries to piece their history together, and in the process finds himself falling for her all over again.



But when a note from his old self resurfaces, Carter’s sure he’s found the key to unsticking himself—only to find that he’s barely scratched the surface of his past.



Filled with tender moments, silly banter, and lots of teenage angst, 16 Forever is the latest YA page-turner from New York Times bestselling, award-winning author Lance Rubin.
