Full Product Description:

Anton Chavez didn't come to Chiang Mai for the temples, the food, or the sunsets. He came to disappear.

Javi Roaming didn't come to Chiang Mai looking for anything but content. A travel vlogger with millions of followers and a camera he trusts more than most people, he's used to being the one drawing a crowd, not causing a scene. But a "mysterious crying sound" on a hotel rooftop turns out to be a stranger, and Javi's own panic sends his phone flying into the dark. He ends up apologizing to the saddest eyes he's ever seen, who also happens to be staying in the room right next door.

What follows isn't a whirlwind. It's slower and messier than that, closer to how people actually move through heartbreak: with setbacks, unread messages, and moments where healing looks less like clarity and more like just getting through the day. Chiang Mai isn't big enough to let Anton avoid his past forever, and it isn't long before he has to face it, right as something else, something he didn't expect, is happening in front of him.

Not on the Itinerary is a slow-burn, emotionally honest romance about grief that doesn't announce itself, love that shows up when you least expect it, and the quiet courage it takes to choose the person standing next to you. Grounded in the ordinary, complicated way people actually navigate heartbreak, it's a story that trusts its readers to sit with discomfort as much as with sweetness.
