✨ Escaping LA for Monhegan Island, Maine ✨

After a problematic co-star, tabloid rumors, and getting fired, Libby travels to the summer house she adored as a kid, barely surviving the grueling 24 hours it took her to get there. But… it’s not quite the nostalgic haven she remembers. 🕷️ Cold showers, unfriendly locals, and one very grumpy next-door neighbor. 

That neighbor? Fisher.
Boston transplant. Grieving brother. Guardian to his sweet niece. Hacker by night, unofficial sheriff by day. Exhausted, guarded, and unhappy. Fisher is initially convinced Libby’s just another “Summer Person” passing through. 

But the island works its quiet magic. 🌊
Walls crumble. Hearts open. Libby falls...for the rugged beauty of the island… for Fisher… and for Sutton, a little girl who steals her heart and mine. 

I devoured this book in one sitting.

I loved all of these characters and this story.  It was such a sweet, summer romance that I could not get enough of and I loved the Revs cameos! 
hopeful fast-paced

I am not a fan of the girl narrator. The story had good parts but once in a while got a little too cheesy. Still liked it though
