Thanks, @corinnemichaels for the gifted e-ARC. 

When Violet’s husband very publicly cheats on her with his co-star, she just wants to flee the toxic Hollywood environment that somehow is making HER the villain in this story. The only place she feels safe she can escape to is Ember Falls. The only problem is that it’s where her first love is – Everett , the one she left behind.  

Everett is stunned to hear that Violet is back, has a job at the high school and intends to stay for a year. And she’s staying at her grandmother’s house that’s been empty since she passed. HE was hoping to avoid her and now they’re next door neighbors?

But it definitely impossible to avoid each other and soon they realize that all the feelings they once had are pretty much alive. 

The Universe has a mean sense of  humor and Violet finds out that her husband left her with a parting gift: a baby. A baby he doesn’t want anything to do with. Guess who steps in, as he’s always done for her? Everett.

Things get complicated when Violet has to head back to California and Everett can’t leave Ember Falls. Can they survive a second goodbye?

I’m completely in love with Violet and Everett! Everett, the cheeky vet we’ve come to love, is all the green flags you want in a book boyfriend. Talk about a man who commits! Violet is someone you want as a friend and you root for her to finally live the meant-to-be HEA with Everett. LOVED IT!

We. have the text convos,  Ultimate Frisbee, the Frisbee WAGs, the Hollywood shenanigans, a hero who puts family first (in whichever way it comes) and a heartwarming HEA. 

Bonus: as in all Corinne’s books, we get some tie in with another series. You’ll love to see that Violet’s bestie is Eli Walsh’s daughter (We Own Tonight).
