'A swoonworthy romance that left me grinning for days' Angie Hockman
From the wild, wonderful landscapes of South Africa to the sun-soaked streets of Southern California, Liv must decide what's more important - love or friendship - unless, of course, she can figure out how to have both . . .
Liv has spent her whole life doing what's expected of her, not what she wants. Determined not to turn out like her mother, Liv plans every day, every decision, to perfection.
But one day, Liv snaps: instead of her usual 'yes', she finds herself saying 'no'. And it feels good - so good she wonders if being happy is more important than being perfect.
Quitting her job and jumping into her newfound freedom with both feet, she spontaneously decides to join her group of friends on their holiday in South Africa. But in that group is Lucas - gorgeous and emotionally unavailable Lucas. Their friendship is the one thing in her life that's still solid and Liv knows she can't mess it up - even if it means missing out on the one thing she truly wants...
An unforgettable and heartfelt romantic comedy from the author of The Layover.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This winning friends-to-lovers romance from Waldon (The Layover) centers on a group of college best friends—Liv, Phoebe, Simone, Mac, and Deiss—who have stayed close for 11 years. Still, Liv feels like the odd one out, envying the others' self-confidence and money. Having grown up poor and occasionally homeless, she works herself to death at her office job. But just before her friends leave for a safari that Liv's afraid to splurge on with them, Deiss challenges Liv to get off the corporate treadmill. Impulsively, she starts saying no to the unfair demands of her job and follows her friends to South Africa. There, she winds up sharing a room with Deiss, who has a secret past of his own. The proximity forces Liv to finally admit her ever-present attraction to Deiss—but Phoebe makes her vow not to ruin the group dynamic by sleeping with him. So when Deiss reveals the attraction is mutual, Liv must decide whether their potential relationship is worth the risk. Though the story starts slowly and Liv remains a repressed character for much of it, the romance is charming and believable and the group's vacation will delight armchair travelers. Fans of Susan Mallery and Jill Shalvis should snap this up.
