"A cozy affirmation for introverts and homebodies about loss, love, and being enough." —Abby Jimenez, author of Yours Truly
She found the right guy at the dead wrong time . . .
When thirty-year-old Alison Mullally, a post-double-mastectomy BRCA1 carrier and reluctant thrill-seeker, arrives at her ex-boyfriend Sam’s funeral, she is shocked to discover that no one knows he dumped her. Out of kindness and a bit of confusion, she agrees to play the grieving girlfriend for the sake of his family. This decision unexpectedly leads her to packing up Sam’s apartment with his prickly best friend, Adam Berg. It’s just four weekends, after all.
However, Adam wants nothing to do with Alison. Forced to spend long hours with his grumpy, monosyllabic self, Alison decides to test her people-pleasing skills and make him like her. Despite awkward family gatherings and packing up Sam's belongings, a tenuous friendship forms between them, laced with undeniable chemistry and simmering sexual tension.
As their bond grows, Alison grapples with the lies she's woven and the feelings she's developing for Adam. Can she come clean and finally embrace the life and love she’s always wanted? Or will her little white lie sabotage her chance at a new, unexpected romance?
This heartwarming tale explores the delicate balance of love and loss, and the journey toward self-acceptance and honesty. 📚❤️
