Maybe This Time

High school English teacher June Flint is pulled through a wormhole by a solar flare and lands eighty-five years in the future, cut off from her ailing mother, her friends, and the life she had barely started living. Then her phone, impossibly, finds a signal.

It reaches only one number, four weeks in the past: Mikey Shannon, the gym teacher she has spent years sparring with. To stop herself from disappearing, future June has to coach Mikey into befriending the past version of her, feeding him lines through an earpiece while he tries to win over a woman who cannot stand him. The two of them have history stretching back to childhood, and most of their courtship happens over the phone, in banter that keeps slipping into something neither will name.

Written by Cara Bastone as a full-cast Audible Original starring Zoë Chao and Noah Reid, Maybe This Time is a funny, tender rom-com about second chances and the versions of ourselves we never got to be.
