Descripción editorial
In this splendidly bittersweet romantic comedy, enemies forced together by a mutual loss are led on a cross-country journey toward a second chance.
Maddie Sanderson would be proud to honor her older brother’s dying wish, that she scatters his ashes over eight destinations that the adventurous 29-year-old never got to visit before he died from cancer. But in his will, Josh assigned her an impossible partner to help complete the mission—Dominic Perry. Seriously, if Maddie weren’t already at her brother's funeral, she would have killed him for this.
Sure, Dom was Josh’s life-long best friend. He’s also the infuriating man who broke Maddie’s heart back when she was naïve enough to give it to him. But since Dom insists on following the rules and Josh didn’t leave much room for Maddie to argue the matter, they embark together on a series of farewell trips that span thousands of miles, exploring new places and revisiting their complicated history along the way.
After a snowstorm leads to a shared bed, Maddie starts to wonder if her brother might be matchmaking from the grave. But when grief also reopens old wounds between them, Maddie will need more than Josh’s ghostly guidance to trust Dom again.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This touching and humorous enemies-to-lovers contemporary from Connolly (Fall Back into Me) argues for the power of love to comfort and heal even in life's bleakest moments. When Madeline Sanderson's older brother, Josh, dies of cancer, she relies on sarcasm and dark humor to cope with the immeasurable loss—a defense mechanism she has no problem brandishing when reunited at the funeral with Josh's infuriating (and annoyingly handsome) best friend Dominic Perry, "the man who did an impressively thorough job of breaking heart" at 19. After Josh's funeral, Madeline looks forward to returning to Seattle, where she can continue happily avoiding Dominic, but her brother's final wish disrupts her plan: she and Dominic must travel to the eight states her brother never got to visit to scatter his ashes. Though Madeline's prickly inner monologue and biting dialogue occasionally feel forced, the balance of irreverent humor (to transport the ashes, Madeline buys "the high-quality Rubbermaid on our way here. Only the best reusable storage containers for my brother") and heartfelt slow-burn chemistry make this a sweet and memorable story of found family. Readers are sure to be moved.
