Publisher Description
From # 1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Kate comes an enemies-to-lovers “what if” romance about a prom kiss that never was, and one woman’s magical chance to live what might have been.
This is not how Liv wanted to see Jake Glasswell for the first time in ten years. Once her high school rival and the prom date who humiliated her, now a successful TV personality, he’s more attractive than he has any right to be. And he’s her Lyft passenger.
Since the prom night kiss that never was, Liv’s life has not gone to plan. She deferred Julliard to be with her mom during a crisis, and now swears she’s happy as a recently furloughed drama teacher going on no-strings dates. This weekend she’s maid of honor to her best friend, Masha, and, of course, Jake is the best man. But when Liv glares into Jake’s eyes as Masha says, “I do,” the universe turns on its axis and Liv is suddenly living a version of her life where prom night was the beginning of her and Jake, not the end, and it turns out he’s the love of her life. The catch? Her mom and Masha hate her now. What’s in a kiss? Maybe everything.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A woman explores an alternate timeline in the exciting latest from Kate (after By Any Other Name). Maid of honor Olivia Dusk is determined to see her best friend's wedding go off without a hitch, even if that means keeping her cool around the best man, Jake Glasswell, her former high school rival who now hosts a popular TV talk show. Olivia put her own dreams of working in entertainment on hold to help out her mother after her father's death 10 years prior, so her distaste for Jake is now compounded by jealousy. Something strange happens when Misha and her fiancé kiss at the altar, however: Liv is abruptly propelled into an alternate version of her life. In this world, which she dubs High Life, she and Jake are married, she's estranged from her mom, and she, rather than Jake, is a TV star. Though she searches for a way to get back to the reality she remembers, there's a part of Liv that doesn't want to leave this new life behind. With a touch of humor and plenty of swoony moments, Kate nimbly explores how small choices can alter the trajectory of a life. Readers will be hooked.
