Instead, she keeps bumping into Charlie Lastra, a brooding book editor she knows from the city. This witty, self-aware romance deconstructs genre tropes while exploring the deep bond between sisters. It is a heartfelt story about finding where you belong and the stories we tell ourselves.

Notable Quotes
"Is there anything better than iced coffee and a bookstore on a sunny day? I mean, aside from hot coffee and a bookstore on a rainy day."
"Maybe love shouldn’t be built on a foundation of compromises, but maybe it can’t exist without them either. Not the kind that forces two people into shapes they don’t fit in, but the kind that loosens their grips, always leaves room to grow. Compromises that say, there will be a you-shaped space in my heart, and if your shape changes, I will adapt. No matter where we go, our love will stretch out to hold us, and that makes me feel like … like everything will be okay."
"The last-page ache. The deep breath in after you’ve set the book aside."
