​LINES by Sung J. Woo is an exploration of love, fate, and the sometimes harsh twists that come with our life choices. The novel begins with a cinematic encounter between Josh and Abby, a writer and an artist, who meet quite literally by crashing into one another on a foggy New York morning. The scene is charged with an unexpected intimacy that turns a chance collision into a whirlwind romance. They fall in love deeply and marry quickly, but years later, their relationship teeters on the edge of collapse.


Woo doesn’t craft Josh and Abby to be likeable at every turn; instead, he paints them with raw honesty, letting their flaws take center stage in a way that may frustrate some readers. But here's the thing—disliking a character’s decisions, behavior, or even personality doesn’t mean the book isn’t worth the journey. LINES is powerful precisely because Josh and Abby are flawed and sometimes impulsive. Their choices aren’t always easy to empathize with, but that’s what makes the story resonate.


The novel is about more than just love; it’s about the delicate, often heartbreaking nature of timing and choice. Woo's narrative shifts between the possibility of the couple’s meeting and a parallel reality in which they don’t meet, letting readers ponder the what ifs that haunt our own lives. It’s both a hopeful love story and a sobering tragedy, showing how choices—or lack thereof—shape lives in unexpected, sometimes irreversible ways.


For readers who crave complex, imperfect characters and are willing to navigate the messiness of real relationships, LINES delivers an experience that feels both intimate and sweeping, as tender as it is unflinchingly honest.


We invite you to give LINES a chance to shine. It is a dark and twisty novel and you may not like the characters, but in the end, the book will resonate.
