    Summary

    Spanning years, cities, and more than a few heartbreaks, Just Pen is a slow-burn story about friendship, timing, and the impossible art of falling for someone who’s always been right in front of you.

    Penelope Featherington has spent her life half in the glow of the Bridgertons — a family as chaotic as they are captivating — and half in her own shadow. Colin Bridgerton has never quite known what he’s looking for, only that he hasn’t found it yet.

    As they grow up and grow apart, their paths twist through missteps, messy relationships, and the long, clumsy process of becoming the kind of people who might finally deserve each other.

    This is a story about first loves, second chances, and how sometimes the right person is the one you’ve spent a lifetime overlooking.
