For two exes who meet again, moving on is harder than ever in a funny and heartfelt romantic comedy about starting over by the author of Truth Be Told, now a major Apple TV+ series.
Vanessa is a yoga influencer living high in New York. But after her crypto-entrepreneur fiancé ruins both their lives by fleeing the country amid fraud allegations, Vanessa's only choice is to start over--by flying home to Chicago and moving in with her sister.
Just as Vanessa puts her life back together, she bumps into Sam. Years ago, they fell hard and too fast. Their relationship ended in heartbreak after an impromptu Las Vegas wedding officiated by a Dolly Parton impersonator--and an annulment that was just as sudden. Now Sam is co-owner of a solar company with a promising future, a future Vanessa wants to be included in. But she can't shake the whiff of scandal from her AWOL fiancé, and to protect Sam's reputation, she's keeping her distance. Then again...
If anyone can turn a negative into a positive--and a first love into a second chance--it's a young woman with influence.

Fun novel. Fast-paced, sweet characters, and a romance laced with communication errors. The happy ending makes this a great beach read.
Story flowed well, characters were personable, pretty light reading! I enjoyed it and would recommend it for a great beach read or airport bookstore buy!
I can’t get through it. I thought it was just so slow to start and then I realized I was almost halfway through. Time to move on…
This was a story of poor communication. The characters were all nice people who never took the time to really talk so rampant misunderstandings ensued.
This was actually better than I expected. Vanessa's ridiculous loyalty to Jack was enough to make me want to barf (which is in no way romantic). The number of times Sam was suddenly in a position to rescue Vanessa from whatever tangle she'd gotten herself into was eye-roll inducing. "Yeah, no" does not mean the same thing as "No, yeah" and it's said by nearly everyone in the Great Lakes area, not just one guy from Aurora. But those are just the reasons I knocked 1½ stars off. The dialog had me laughing out loud. My eyes welled up with tears at least once (or maybe three times). The reminder that we can come home again to birth and found family plucked a chord that is still humming.
