Poppy and Alex have been best friends for over a decade, bonded by an annual tradition of taking vacations together—but two years ago, everything fell apart between them. Now Poppy is asking for one final trip, a last chance to figure out if the spark they've always danced around could finally become something real. Packed with witty banter, swoony moments, and the kind of chemistry that makes you believe in fate, this is a love story that unfolds across a decade of stolen moments and shared adventures. If you love the "will they, won't they" tension of When Harry Met Sally or the emotional gut-punch of One Day, this gorgeous novel will absolutely steal your heart.
