About this book

Two best friends who've been dancing around their feelings since losing their moms in the same devastating year suddenly find themselves unable to ignore what's been simmering between them—especially when a weekend getaway forces them to confront everything they've been afraid to say out loud. Nick has built walls around his heart so high he's convinced happy endings are impossible, while Fiona's been numbing herself with their friendship, telling herself that's enough. But when feelings slip through the cracks, they realize that sometimes the scariest thing isn't falling apart—it's risking your heart on someone who really knows you. This achingly honest dual-perspective story about grief, growth, and unexpected love will have you rooting for them to find the courage to choose each other, even when the future feels terrifyingly uncertain.
