A deeply emotional novel for readers who love complicated romance like those by Krista & Becca Ritchie (Addicted to You) and Jamie McGuire (Beautiful Disaster).
Perfect for fans of raw TV shows and movies about addiction, love, and self-discovery like Sex Education, Normal People, and One Day.
It’s only been two weeks since Natalie graduated from college, yet she feels adrift—listless and wayward in the beach town she now calls home. Trapped in a cycle of job rejections, writer’s block, and being the new girl in town, Natalie’s social life revolves around supporting her sister’s recovery as she enters rehab for an eating disorder.
Enter Brooklyn: another patient at the same facility where her sister is being treated. He’s undeniably magnetic, and their attraction to one another is obvious. But this summer was supposed to be a turning point for Natalie—a new start—but when her friendship with Brooklyn turns to romance, his history threatens her future.
Brooklyn’s past isn’t just complicated, it’s dangerous, and when his history of drug addiction resurfaces, it drags them both into turbulent waters. It’s just like Natalie to want to save him, but she soon realizes that sometimes, people can only save themselves.
