Maggie May Wheeler is living her best life—at thirty, she has big plans for her vintage record shop and is about to be engaged to her childhood best friend. But when she stumbles across a letter she wrote to her future self when she was thirteen, she realizes it may not be enough. The letter ignites a desire to find her birth mother and discover where she really belongs.

Her search takes her to dreamy Fire Island, where her birth mother is a guest at a wedding. As Maggie spies on her biological family, she’s caught between diving into their chaotic lives and returning to her comfortable world. Things heat up when a charming local makes her an offer to crash the wedding as his date.

Is it the island’s magic, the whirlwind of the weekend, or the thrill of a fake beau that has her rethinking everything? Swept away by every love song she hears, Maggie must figure out where her heart truly lies.

Critic reviews

"Rosen skillfully balances romance with a nuanced exploration of family dynamics and self-discovery. Recommend to fans of Elizabeth Berg, Adriana Trigiani, or Nancy Thayer."—Library Journal (starred review)

A beautiful love story!

From Ohio to Fire island I could not put this book down. I love the relationships and how Jane meshes them together. Well done!
Love Shep and Bea and V, Matt, Rene, etc!
