Kit & Basie
Immortality is a dangerous affair when it isn't done right.
Basie Yeats knows he's doing immortality all wrong, spending endless days in the same place, but he doesn't see a reason to leave the home he loves in Long Lily, Pennsylvania. Once the impossible death of his mother leaves him the only immortal person he knows, Basie decides that the only thing he wants to do is get out of Long Lily and start doing immortality the right way-alone.
Kit Elliot has wandered the world looking for the right place to call home, so when a church-turned-cottage suddenly goes up for sale in a quaint Pennsylvania town, it feels like it was meant to be. It takes only a few days at Wellhead Cottage for Kit to decide that the man who sold it to him is frustrating, awkward, and terribly handsome. He offers to help Basie find a new home away from Long Lily-but as days turn to months, Kit finds himself wishing he could make Basie stay.

"This was so good. I am just completely so in love with everything. My soul was healed, but it was also broken into little pieces, and sometimes smashed with a hammer...All in all, a book I would hold very dear to my heart for a long time to come." -Janvi Rakshi on Goodreads
"This was so soft, so tender, so sweet. It felt like coming home, or a warm hug." - Abby on Goodreads
"To summarize the overall vibe of the book very, very briefly: it feels like that one old friend who you thought forgot all about you but then you meet again and it turns out they always kept you in their thoughts and wished you well. And you get that warm feeling in your chest, because you realize that you've never been really alone." -Chromeo on Goodreads
"Okay, THIS is my favorite book I've read all year!!" -Bear on Goodreads
