About The Book
Three friends. Two broken promises. One missing manuscript.
As a senior acquisitions editor for Fog Harbor Books in San Francisco, Ingrid Erikson has rejected many a manuscript for lack of defined conflict and dramatic irony—two elements her current life possesses in spades. In the months following the death of her childhood best friend and international bestselling author Cecelia Campbell, Ingrid has not only lost her ability to escape into fiction due to a rare trauma response, but she’s also desperate to find the closure she’s convinced will come with Cecelia’s missing final manuscript.
After Ingrid jeopardizes her career, she fears her future will remain irrevocably broken. But then Joel Campbell—the man who shattered her belief in happily-ever-afters—offers her a sealed envelope from his late cousin, Cecelia, asking Joel and Ingrid to put their differences aside and retrieve a mysterious package in their coastal Washington hometown.
Honoring Cecelia’s last request will challenge their convictions and test their loyalties, but through it all, will Ingrid and Joel be brave enough to uncover a twice-in-a-lifetime love?
My Thoughts
I would give it a 10 star if it were possible!
Nicole Deese never ceases to amaze me. I was spellbound while reading this book. Her way with words—the way she captures human emotions—is uncanny, and I am in awe!
I am still finding my way through grief, and everything in me resonates with this book. Everything!!! My heart went out to the characters. I was floored by their friendship and bond. Their common grief tethered them together, leading to their healing.
The plot twists were just mind blowing. The plot itself is the kind of stuff that makes a book a classic. The setting kept me yearning for my childhood home.
I would read this book again.
Totally and completely recommended.
I received a copy of this book, and this is my honest opinion.
