Four Weekends and a Funeral: A Novel BY Ellie Palmer

She found the right guy at the dead wrong time...

At thirty, Alison Mullally is a post-double-mastectomy BRCA1 carrier and a reluctant thrill-seeker who thought she had moved on from her ex. But when she attends Sam's funeral, she discovers no one knows they broke up. For the sake of his grieving family, she agrees to pose as the heartbroken girlfriend. The catch? She must help pack up Sam's apartment with his grumpy best friend, Adam Berg, a man who wants nothing to do with her.

Adam's monosyllabic demeanor and aloof attitude make the task challenging. Undeterred, Alison decides to use her people-pleasing skills to break through his defenses. As they navigate awkward family events and packing dilemmas over four weekends, a reluctant camaraderie emerges. But what starts as a tense partnership begins to crack open, revealing incredible chemistry and mounting sexual tension.

As Alison and Adam grow closer, she faces a dilemma: confess her deception or risk losing the chance at a genuine connection. Will her little white lie sabotage her chance at true love, or can she finally embrace the life and romance she’s always desired?

In this cozy affirmation for introverts and homebodies, Alison's journey through loss, love, and self-discovery offers a heartwarming exploration of what it means to be enough.
