Publisher Description
“The bi romance of your dreams is finally here!” —Cosmopolitan
“There are so many queer readers who need this story and See You at the Summit delivers with heart and heat.” —Alison Cochrun
A heartfelt and sexy romance novel following one bi woman’s messy journey through coming out—and reluctantly falling for a straight man. From the USA TODAY bestselling author of Wicked Darlings.
Girl comes out as bi. Girl falls for a straight guy.
Simone Whittaker has spent the first three decades of her life pretending to be straight. But when the girl she never dared call her girlfriend walks away, she decides she’s done living in fear. Her uptight parents don’t take the news well, but a viral coming-out post and a new job at Toronto’s Rainbow Museum offer a fresh start—and a crash course in queer adulthood.
That is, until her first day of work, when Simone ruins a project designed by Ryan Foley—the museum’s gruff and annoyingly hot carpenter—earning her the top spot on his enemies list. When they’re forced to take a work trip to the Whistler Pride and Ski Festival together, Simone vows not to let a grumpy straight guy ruin her first Pride. But Ryan keeps surprising her—thoughtful, vulnerable, and impossible to ignore. As sparks fly on chairlifts and by crackling fires, one snowstorm—and one bed—changes everything.
Back in Toronto, however, reality sets in. Dating a guy—and being mistaken for straight—weren’t exactly part of Simone’s coming-out plan. As the pressure builds between the identity she’s just beginning to explore and the relationship that wasn’t supposed to happen, she starts to wonder: What if claiming one part of herself means erasing the other?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A woman's coming out is complicated by her attraction to a man in YA author Taylor's cheerful and affirming adult debut (after The Rebel Girls of Rome). Simone Whitaker, 29, feels like she's finally her most authentic self: she has just come out as bi and started working as a marketing project manager for Toronto's new Rainbow Museum, dedicated to celebrating the LGBTQ+ experience. She's eager to live her truth and date women, but she's conflicted when on her first day on the job, she's instantly attracted to hot carpenter Ryan Foley. After Simone accidentally ruins a project he was working on, the pair butt heads, but clear the air while attending the Whistler Pride and Ski Festival with their colleagues. That outing leads to one steamy night together which neither of them can forget when they return to Toronto. But their relationship is complicated by Ryan's somewhat over-the-top trust issues after having been burned before, and Simone's authentic fears of coming off as a "queer imposter." Plenty of romantic tension and heartfelt conversations about identity keep the pages of this earnest rom-com turning. Taylor should win a whole new set of fans.
