Two best friends. Seven days in paradise. One last chance to fall in love or fall apart.
Frankie and George have been best friends since they were eight. They’ve always clashed and come back together—it’s what they do. Until now. On the eve of her wedding, Frankie doesn’t know where they stand or even if George will show up as her best man.
As she loses hope, in walks George. For one glorious evening, Frankie’s life is finally perfect. But it all comes crashing down when her fiancé dumps her the next morning, leaving only a note behind.
Crushed and confused, Frankie only wants to wallow. But George has a different idea. He wants her to go on her honeymoon. With him. For one week, to the lush rainforests and misty beaches of Tofino.
Frankie agrees, seeing the trip for what it really is: one last chance to repair their friendship. Even if it means unearthing secrets and long buried feelings neither knows how to handle. Even if it means falling apart for good.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Fortune (One Golden Summer) delivers a tender tale about a childhood friendship blooming into more over the course of a weeklong getaway. Former sous chef Francesca "Frankie" Gardiner is ready to tie the knot—until her fiancé dumps her during their wedding weekend via a note. Blindsided by the breakup, feeling directionless in her career, and lamenting the idea of having to start over again at age 30, Frankie returns to her family's home. While there, her best friend of more than two decades, George Saint James, arrives with a proposition: the two of them will go on her honeymoon in Tofino, British Columbia, where he'll help her process the breakup with the aid of a meticulously researched itinerary. Frankie agrees to this picturesque vacation with the hope of rebuilding their recently strained friendship, but along the way she comes to realize she no longer views George in a purely platonic light. As tension brews between the leads, Fortune expertly intersperses glimpses into the highs and lows of the pair's past, showcasing their ever-evolving dynamic. The inevitable third act conflict feels somewhat predictable and underwhelming, but readers will be charmed by the idyllic setting and Frankie and George's unwavering devotion to each other. People We Meet on Vacation fans should check this out.
