About this book
When Lily unexpectedly reconnects with Atlas, the man she's loved since her teenage years, it finally feels like the universe is giving them their shot—except timing has never been their biggest obstacle. Now a single mom navigating co-parenting with her volatile ex-husband, Lily finds herself caught between a second chance at a love that's always burned bright and the very real threat that pursuing it could upend everything she's worked to build. Told from both Lily and Atlas's perspectives, this sequel peels back the layers of their history while exploring whether some loves are worth the chaos they might create. If you've been dying to know what happens next for these characters, this is the passionate, complicated continuation you've been waiting for.
