Contemporary Women's Fiction | Fiction Women's Fiction
Perfect for fans of Emily Giffin and Jennifer Weiner, this bright, funny debut from a fresh voice in fiction offers a delicious take on love, family, and what it means to build a home of oneโs own. Sarina Mahler thinks she has her life all nailed down: a growing architecture practice in Austin, Texas, and an any-day-now proposal from her loving boyfriend, Noah. Sheโs well on her way to having the family sheโs hoped for since her motherโs death ten years ago. But with Noah on a temporary assignment abroad and retired Olympic swimmerโand former flameโEamon Roy back in town asking her to renovate his new fixer-upper, Sarinaโs life takes an unexpected turn. Eamon proves to be Sarinaโs dream client, someone who instinctively trusts every one of her choicesโand Sarina is reminded of all the reasons she was first drawn to him back in the day. Suddenly her carefully planned future with Noah seems a little less than perfect. And when tragedy strikes, Sarina is left reeling. With her world completely upended, she is forced to question what she truly wants in lifeโand in love. Full of both humor and heartbreak, The One That Got Away is the story of one womanโs discovery that, sometimes, life is what happens when you leave the blueprints behind.
