“Left me feeling desperately romantic. Prepare for a book hangover—I loved it.” —Annabel Monaghan, New York Times bestselling author of Summer Romance

Best friends Joni and Ren have been inseparable since childhood. So when Joni moves across the country for her job, the two devise a creative way to stay in touch: they’ll be each other’s plus-ones every year for wedding season, no matter what else is happening in their lives.

It’s a tradition that works, until a line is crossed and the friendship they once thought was forever is ruined.

Now Joni is back at their families’ shared summer home for her sister’s wedding, and she’s determined to make the week perfect, even if it means faking a friendship with Ren—and avoiding the truth of why they have to fake it in the first place. How hard can it be to pretend to be friends with the person who once knew you best?

But as sunny beach days together turn into starry nights, Joni begins to question what her life is without Ren in it. And when the wedding arrives, bringing past heartaches to the surface, she’ll be forced to decide if loving Ren means letting him go, or if theirs is a love story worth fighting for.

“Your heart will explode when you read this book. I defy you not to fall in love with Joni and Ren.” —Tessa Bickers, USA Today bestselling author of The Book Swap

Simple Beautiful Love Story

Such a realistic and comforting story of best friends, lovers, and family dynamics. Some steamy moments that are accompanied by natural feelings of the big decisions in life.

So much heart and characters I fell in love with

Such an emotional book. Beautiful characters. The side characters are part of the world she builds, instead of a distraction, which is so rare for a romance book! I love this love so much and I can’t wait to read Sally’s next book! Thank you for the playlist.

Loved it!

This is such a sweet romance! Great character development and plot lines that are quirky enough to make it original. I have already recommended this to friends and family. I can't wait for Sally's next book!

This was a really sweet friends to lovers story ❤️

I really enjoyed this book! It was exactly the kind of story I look for in this genre- cute, sweet, heartfelt. It used a common troupe but still made it interesting. It will have you rooting for Joni and Ren the whole time!

It’s kind of confusing

Who doesn’t like friends to lovers trope but it going back-and-forth from previous to that without any causes or explanations was kind of confusing
