THE INCREDIBLE KINDNESS OF PAPER

A warmhearted second chance romance between Chloe and Oliver, childhood sweethearts who were ripped apart by circumstance as teens. Now, brought back together by magical coincidence, they have a chance to reconnect.

When Chloe Hanako Quinn was assigned Oliver Clarke as her elementary school pen pal partner, she whispered magic into her letter, and he heard her. Little did she know it would be the beginning of a friendship that would bloom into something more. That is until disaster strikes, and Oliver and his family disappear without a trace.

Now over twenty years later, Chloe is a high school guidance counselor in New York City. But life in the Big Apple is not at all what she'd dreamt of. Faced with a sudden layoff, rising rent, and a situationship she's not quite sure of, magic seems all but dead. To cheer herself up, she gives herself a pep talk via uplifting messages written on some origami paper that she folds into roses. What she didn't expect was for her roses to find strangers and change their lives completely.

Across the city, Oliver has picked himself up from the rough and impoverished lifestyle his conwoman mother subjected him to during his teen years. It had been her scheme gone wrong that had uprooted him and his brother from their home and away from the love of his life, Chloe. Oliver was now a successful quantitative financial analyst working for the VIPs of the financial industry. But the past continues to haunt him. When the city suddenly becomes inundated with yellow origami roses, a particular one finds its way magically into his hands. And so inadvertently begins an anonymous epistolary exchange in the paper flowers between the lost lovers.
