***
What if the love of your life could watch the story of your past?
At the end of a fog-covered alley, glitters a glamorous cinema. It’s nearly impossible to find. When Ellie and her fiancé, Drake, stumble upon it during a late-night walk, they’re shocked to discover what’s playing inside the red-velvet auditorium: their formative memories.
Drake fears what the cinema might reveal, but eventually gives in when Ellie insists they return for more viewings. She’s haunted by a night from her past that she doesn’t fully remember. This is her opportunity to piece the story back together. But as the memories displayed on screen inch closer to the present, they realize they’re both keeping secrets from each other.
With their wedding on the horizon, Ellie and Drake must decide if seeing their pasts changes their plans for a future together.
Filled with warmth, hope, and a dash of magic, The Second Chance Cinema is both an enchanting escape and a thought-provoking examination of how our memories shape who we are.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
An engaged couple takes stock of their lives with the help of a magical film in the first-rate debut from Weiss. Author Ellie Marshall and her fiancé, Drake, have just finished dinner at one of their favorite restaurants when they stumble upon a majestic old theater whose marquee announces the feature film The Story of You. Curious, Ellie and Drake enter the theater. The movie turns out to be a 10-part highlight reel of the couple's lives, beginning with a scene of Drake blowing out his first birthday candle. Over the course of their return trips for the nine additional installments, they discover that the cinema is open only for them—when Ellie tries to bring her best friend along, the trio find a dilapidated, long-shuttered theater in the same place. More than a nostalgia trip, the marathon film also throws secrets into the open, forcing Ellie and Drake to speak to each other directly about past lovers and hardships, as when Drake reveals the true story behind Ellie's engagement ring and faces her culpability in her brother's death from a car accident years earlier. Weiss supplements the accomplished plotting with realistic character work, focusing on how the couple is impacted by the film's revelations. This tugs at the heartstrings.
