A Novel for Everyone

In this "brave and heartbreaking novel that digs its claws into you and doesn't let go, long after you've finished it" (Anna Todd, New York Times bestselling author) from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of All Your Perfects, a workaholic with a too-good-to-be-true romance can't stop thinking about her first love.

Lily, a hardworking individual, has overcome various challenges to achieve the life she desires. She has progressed from her small-town roots, earning a college degree, relocating to Boston, and establishing her own business. When Lily feels a spark with a renowned neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, her life seems to take an even more promising turn.

Ryle is described as assertive, stubborn, and perhaps slightly arrogant, yet he also possesses a sensitive and brilliant nature, with a soft spot for Lily. The way he looks in his medical scrubs only adds to his appeal. Lily finds herself unable to get Ryle out of her mind, but his adamant aversion to relationships is troubling. Even as Lily becomes the exception to his "no dating" rule, she can't help but wonder what led him to adopt such a stance in the first place.

As Lily navigates her new relationship, her thoughts constantly drift back to her first love, Atlas Corrigan. Atlas was Lily's kindred spirit and protector, and his sudden reappearance in her life threatens everything she has built with Ryle.

The novel is described as an "honest, evocative, and tender" work, a "glorious and touching read" that becomes a "forever keeper" and the kind of book that is "handed down" (USA TODAY). It explores the complexities of love, the weight of the past, and the challenges of building a future in the face of unexpected obstacles.

Through this captivating narrative, the author delves into the depths of Lily's heart and the intricate web of relationships that shape her journey. Readers are invited to embark on an emotional and thought-provoking exploration of love, loss, and the enduring power of the human spirit.
