The author of the “sexy, smart, and sweetly satisfying” (Meg Cabot, #1 New York Times bestselling author) Pick-Up returns with a second chance romance perfect for fans of Emily Henry and Abby Jimenez! Exes are thrown together at their best friends’ wine country un-wedding and forced to reckon with their past...and lingering sparks.

Nellie Hurwitz doesn’t have a first love. She has a first hate. And she has refused to talk about what happened with Noah since their high school graduation. For two decades, they’ve managed to avoid seeing each other—until their respective best friends, Ben and Cara, plan an intimate vow renewal at a vineyard compound in Sonoma, California.

Nellie is determined to keep ancient history from ruining the trip Cara has worked so hard to plan but close quarters bring up feelings both Nellie and Noah have locked away for twenty years. Even amidst the awkwardness of their forced proximity, the two can’t shake the heady attraction they’ve always shared.

Written in alternating timelines, teenage Nellie and Noah fall together and apart in 1990s New York while in the present day, they wonder whether there is still something real between them. Ultimately, can they find a way to move forward? Or will they backslide and blow things up for good?
