Publisher Description
‘Honest, vulnerable, and achingly romantic’ B.K. Borison, Sunday Times Bestseller
_____
A swoony friends to lovers summer romance. Perfect for fans of Emily Henry.
Two best friends. One unexpected summer holiday. A plot twist they didn’t see coming. . .
Bookseller Thea never thought she'd meet her best friend through her ex-husband. But that’s exactly how she ended up with Alex – a world renown chef and single dad who charms everyone he meets. They vowed that romance would never ruin their friendship, and two years later, they are inseparable.
So much so, that when their exes invite them both on a “family” holiday – Alex’s daughter and Thea’s dog in tow – they reluctantly agree.
Theirs didn't start as a love story. But as blistering beach days melt into slow golden evenings, Thea and Alex find themselves confronting feelings that might just lead them to the last place they ever expected: a happy ending.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A slow-burning love story keeps the pages turning in this cute contemporary from Liese (Once Smitten, Twice Shy). Bookseller Thea Meyer and Michelin star chef Alex Bruscato become instant best friends when they discover that their ex-spouses are now in a relationship with each other. After impulsively suggesting to the couple that, they too, have a long romantic history, Thea and Alex quickly realize their compatibility isn't hard to fake. Thea enjoys the food Alex cooks her and bonds with his six-year-old daughter, Mia, while Alex takes Thea's book recommendations and falls in love with her dog, Argos. They spend more time together than apart as Thea works up the courage to present her plan to purchase her bookstore and Alex develops a cookbook. When Mia's mom asks Alex and Thea to join a summer family vacation, it prompts them to consider whether fake dating and friendship could lead to something more. By toggling between the early days of their relationship and that romantic turning point, Liese does an excellent job maintaining tension and building a solid, trusting, and believable connection between the pair. Friends-to-lovers fans won't want to miss this.
Customer Reviews
Heartfelt
So heartfelt - loved so many pieces of this. Great exchanges and banter, it isn’t as much about the actual romance but the build up of individuals into friends, pillars of strength for each other, and the yearning to have more while needing to heal
