I absolutely loved this one, which I knew I would, because I love ALL of Camille's books. This book was so special, and such a delight to read.
Synopsis:
Aly has her dream job at All Good magazine. And in an attempt to defend herself from gossiping coworkers, Aly is placed on unpaid leave n her defending message is made public. Aly decides to use this break as an opportunity to revisit her late brother, Luke's home in Michigan, where she learns that her brother's best friend, Wyatt has been living in Luke's absence.
What unravels is a touching story of friendship, love, and navigating new territory, all while processing the grief of losing her brother and being reminded of past traumas from their childhood.
There's an earth-shattering part of this book that I read while sitting at our local café, snow falling sideways outside, Coldplay's "Paradise" playing overhead, and it literally ripped my heart in two. So maybe when you are approaching Chapter 34, snuggle up somewhere warm and quiet and not in public, and allow yourself a good cry. Because you'll need it with this one.
Good for You releases to the masses March 1 and is a work of contemporary romantic fiction you won't want to miss!
Thank you again, Camille for sharing another beautiful piece of your heart and soul with me. 🩷
