About the book: year / USA Today bestselling author Marnie Mann presents Before You, a new contemporary novel and devastating analysis of the things we find, the things we create , and the things we lose. This was supposed to be a regular work trip. New York - San Francisco, window seat, emergency exit. Maybe a mimosa. Then he sat down in seat 14B. When our eyes met, the flight became anything but ordinary. I can pinpoint the moments in my life when everything changed forever. Meeting Jared on that flight was the first. Falling in love with him was the second. Discovering the secrets he kept was the third. It was difficult to put myself back together and forget what I had learned. It would be impossible to forgive Jared. He said that before me, nothing mattered. But after it nothing will be the same.
