Publisher Description
Xavier and Clara kissing in a tree…
When your best friend growing up is a girl, that’s the song your classmates taunt you with over and over again. But it was never like that… until now.
It’s always been Clara and me. She’s the only one who truly knows me. After I was drafted into the NFL and ended up the starting quarterback for the San Francisco Kingsmen, I begged her to come with me. But she had her own life and responsibilities back in our small Alaskan town, so I didn’t fault her for staying.
We remained the best of friends despite the distance. I’d hang with her in Alaska during the off season, and she’d visit me in California while I was playing. Then, one night the lines blurred for the briefest of moments and set in motion a series of events that changed everything.
I’m not proud of the decisions I made after that fateful night, and I plan on making amends, because I need Clara back in my life. But not as my best friend—as my everything.

A sweet and fun friends to lovers second chance read!
We have been teased about Clara and Xavier’s story since the beginning. I was so excited to finally find out what happened between these two and why it ended their friendship.
These two have been friends since kindergarten, however after a falling out and two years of not speaking- it finally becomes to much, all the missing and they both want each other back. The question is, in what way does that happen to be?
This story was such an enjoyably read, and oh so sweet. There was lots of laughs, some frustrating parts, and even some emotional moments that had my heart hurting for what happened to their friendship.
I loved watching as Xavier and Clara navigated the changes in their feeling from friendship to more, watching how it grew and developed throughout the story. Seeing how they worked to rebuild the trust that was lost and move past and understand the hurt that happened those years ago.
I enjoyed Clara a lot, she was always a great side character, but it was nice getting to see how sweet and caring she is, but also so confident in herself and her wants. Xavier has always been a curious one, but getting to see what he keeps hidden, and his reasons for his actions was great.
I also loved the little bits we got of these two as children and how their friendship was back then.
It is so nice being back in Sunrise Bay and with the Greene Family. I loved being able to catch up with the previous couples and I can’t wait to see what is to come for Mandi Greene’s book, especially after the sneak peak we got!

Xavier and Clara were best friends since kindergarten until one night changed everything. Two years later as they try to move forward, they are constantly thrown together and realize they need to make amends.
I really enjoyed Xavier and Clara’s story. No matter how hard they tried to stay apart things kept bringing them back to each other. The banter and chemistry between them was great. I also love that we got more of our favourite meddling grandmas.
Aaron Shedlock and Holly Warren did a great job of bringing the characters and story to life.
