Tiny van. Enormous feelings.
Charley Beekman is thriving . . . if you overlook that she's financially strapped, stuck in a dull legal career, and the youngest divorcee at the Ruth's Chris Steak House. After being left by a man she was sure was too boring to ever leave, she's figured out that the key to true happiness is protecting yourself from surprises. So when her free-spirited sister announces she's eloping with an on-again, off-again childhood sweetheart, Charley knows she has to stop the wedding before her sister makes the biggest mistake of her life. Conveniently, Charley's best friend, Ethan, who's as gorgeous as he is chronically unreliable, has an extra seat in his camper van.
As Charley and Ethan embark on a wild road trip through the enchanting northern woods of Minnesota, Charley starts to feel something she's ignored for years—a spark that threatens to turn into a full-blown bonfire. But after crashing and burning at marriage despite her best-laid plans, the last thing Charley needs is a fling with a noncommittal, irresistible, nomadic musician . . . right?
Hilarious, witty, and teeming with heart, Anywhere With You is the perfect escape for anyone who believes that sometimes the best destinations are the ones you never planned.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Opposites convincingly attract in this sparkling rom-com from Palmer (Four Weekends and a Funeral). Charlotte "Charley" Beekman is a type-A planner who thought she knew how her life would go, but, at 28, she's freshly divorced, stuck in a law career she hates, and entirely cynical about love. Though she's determined not to need anybody, in a moment of drunken vulnerability she sends a barrage of texts to her childhood best friend, Ethan Powell, expressing how much she misses him. In response, Ethan, a nomadic, free-spirited musician, shows up at Charley's house in his camper van, offering unwavering support despite her initial discomfort and attempts to push him away. His van comes in handy when Charley's little sister announces her plan to elope with her childhood sweetheart and Charley, seeing visions of disaster, ropes Ethan into a madcap road trip to stop the wedding. Palmer intersperses the present-day hijinks with flashbacks to Charley and Ethan's first meeting, fast friendship, and eventual growing apart, making their chemistry and the depths of their emotional connection easy to see. The result is a charming and carefree summer romp that will warm readers' hearts.
