An insightful, delightful new novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Beach Read and People We Meet on Vacation.Ā
One summer. Two rivals. A plot twist they didn't see coming...
Nora Stephens' life is booksāsheās read them allāand she is not that type of heroine. Not the plucky one, not the laidback dream girl, and especially not the sweetheart. In fact, the only people Nora is a heroine for are her clients, for whom she lands enormous deals as a cutthroat literary agent, and her beloved little sister Libby.
Which is why she agrees to go to Sunshine Falls, North Carolina for the month of August when Libby begs her for a sistersā trip awayāwith visions of a small town transformation for Nora, who sheās convinced needs to become the heroine in her own story. But instead of picnics in meadows, or run-ins with a handsome country doctor or bulging-forearmed bartender, Nora keeps bumping into Charlie Lastra, a bookish brooding editor from back in the city. It would be a meet-cute if not for the fact that theyāve met many times and itās never been cute.
If Nora knows sheās not an ideal heroine, Charlie knows heās nobodyās hero, but as they are thrown together again and againāin a series of coincidences no editor worth their salt would allowāwhat they discover might just unravel the carefully crafted stories theyāve written about themselves.
