¿Se olvida alguna vez el primer amor?
Décadas de secretos y mentiras han conducido a Elle al día de hoy.
Tiene 24 horas para tomar la decisión que cambiaría su vida para siempre.
Antes de que nadie se despierte, en una perfecta mañana de agosto, Elle se dirige a nadar en el espléndido estanque del Palacio de Papel, la casa en los bosques de Cape Cod donde su familia ha pasado los veranos durante generaciones. Desde el porche, Elle aún puede ver la mesa sin recoger de la cena; copas de vino vacías, cera de velas en el mantel, ecos de las risas de sus familiares y conocidos. Pero esta mañana es diferente: la noche anterior Elle y su mejor amigo de la infancia, Jonas, se escabulleron para tener un apasionado encuentro contra la pared exterior de la casa mientras sus parejas charlaban en el interior.
Décadas de recuerdos, secretos y mentiras han conducido a Elle hasta este día. Ahora, durante las siguientes veinticuatro horas, tendrá que elegir entre la vida que ha construido con su maravilloso marido, Peter, y la que imaginó con su primer amor, Jonas, si un trágico suceso no lo hubiera cambiado todo para siempre.

Now, over the next twenty-four hours, Elle willhave to decide between the life she has made with her genuinely belovedhusband, Peter, and the life she always imagined she would have had with herchildhood love, Jonas, if a tragic event hadn’t forever changed the course oftheir lives.
