AN INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER
“A BINGEABLE FIVE-STAR READ.” —ABBY JIMENEZ, #1 New York Times bestselling author
"I loved it—brims with heart, wit, and longing.”—CARLEY FORTUNE, #1 New York Times bestselling author
The romantic and hilarious story of a professional organizer whose life is a mess, and the summer she gets unstuck with the help of someone unexpected from her past, by the bestselling author of Nora Goes Off Script.
Benefits of a summer romance: It’s always fun, always brief, and no one gets their heart broken.
Ali Morris is a professional organizer whose own life is a mess. Her mom died two years ago, then her husband left, and she hasn’t worn pants with a zipper in longer than she cares to remember.
No one is more surprised than Ali when the first time she takes off her wedding ring and puts on pants with hardware—overalls count, right?—she meets someone. Or rather, her dog claims a man for her...by peeing on him. Ethan smiles at Ali like her pants are just right—like he likes what he sees. He looks at her like she’s a younger, braver version of herself. The last thing newly single mom Ali needs is to make her life messier, but there’s no harm in a little summer romance. Is there?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Summer romance, writes Monaghan (Same Time Next Summer) in this light and sunny contemporary, is "a love affair with no reality check." People pleaser Ali Morris has spent her whole life putting other peoples' happiness above her own. Stuck in a loveless marriage, she's still grieving her mother's death two years prior and juggling the schedules of her three kids when her husband asks for a divorce. She's exhausted, numb, and reeling—until her lust for life is reawakened when her dog pees on the gorgeous Ethan at the dog park. Their attraction is palpable and when she learns that Ethan is "Scooter," the younger brother of a good friend from high school, she struggles to reconcile the teenage screwup she knew in her youth with the dreamy man who sees the real her. But if Ethan, who had a crush on Ali all through high school, wants more than just a summer fling, he'll need to convince her that he's no longer the flaky, unreliable boy he was. Monaghan makes the blossoming love between Ali and Ethan both believable and heartwarming as they grow together out of painful past experiences. It's the ideal beach read.

Great book
Easy fun read.
2nd Chances
Not all life-long romances start at 18 or 25. This is a beautifully written story with three dimensional characters that have complex adult lives. Made me laugh and cry and truly feel the love story.
A Warm & Fuzzy
