Publisher Description
Beach Rules:
Do take long walks on the sand.
Do put an umbrella in every cocktail.
Do NOT run into your first love.
On paper, Sam's life is on track. She has the perfect doctor fiancé, Jack (his strict routines are a good thing, really), a great job in Manhattan (unless they fire her), and is about to tour a wedding venue near her family's Long Island beach house.
The last person she expects to see is Wyatt: her first love. But there's no reason for a thirty-year-old engaged woman to feel panicked around the guy who broke her heart when she was seventeen. Right?
Yet being back at this beach has Sam's memories come flooding back: the feel of Wyatt's skin on hers, their nights in the treehouse, and the truth behind their split.
As their irresistible spark comes rushing back, and Sam starts to remember the girl she used to be, she must decide: is the life she's created the one she wants?
This warm, witty and life-affirming love story is perfect for fans of Beth O'Leary, Carley Fortune and B.K. Borison.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Monaghan (Nora Goes Off Script) reunites first loves in this masterful romance. Once a free spirit, Sam Holloway has sought practicality and predictability ever since her high school boyfriend, Wyatt Pope, broke her heart, leading her to a stuffy job as an HR consultant and engagement to a straitlaced doctor, Jack. On the brink of losing her job due to a misstep with a client, Sam returns to her family's Long Island summer home to regroup and scope out a potential wedding venue with Jack—only to discover that Wyatt, a singer songwriter, is also back in town to host a music festival. Sam is thrown ("Wyatt is a locked-away memory of a time I don't want to go back to and a person I can barely remember being. And somehow he's thirty feet away, right next door"), but believes she'll be able to avoid Wyatt—until Jack's parents show up and Jack asks to extend the trip. Sam's mother urges her to find closure with Wyatt, but the closeness brings up old feelings and memories of carefree summers together at the beach, leading Sam to question her life choices. Monaghan nails the second-chance romance trope, allowing the love between her leads to rekindle slowly as they forge a satisfying path to forgiveness (the reveal that Wyatt's love songs are about Sam doesn't hurt). This is a knockout.
