A jaded twentysomething is stuck living at home, her life on pause, when a single dad becomes her new neighbor and unexpectedly sets her lifeβand her heartβinto motion in this modern love story from the bestselling author of You, Again.
Sometimes love shows up where you least expect itβright next door.
At twenty-six, Sam Pulaski expected to be thriving in her academic career, living on her own in some exciting city. Expectations meet reality: She has massive student loan debt from studying art history, a dead-end service industry job, a situationship thatβs equal parts intoxicating and toxic. And sheβs been crashing in her momβs condoβat least itβs not a basement?βfor the last five years. If she can finally get accepted into a PhD program and get out of Ohio, the adult life thatβs been on hold for half her twenties will finally begin.
Her momβs new neighbor, Nick, is the ultimate grown-up. His adult life began the moment his nine-year-old daughter, Kira, was born. Her happiness is Nickβs only priority, especially in the wake of divorce. Thereβs nothing he wonβt do for Kira, including giving up his globe-trotting career for something more stable . . . like managing a chain restaurant.
Sam has zero interest in an ultra-dependable guy pushing forty; frankly, sheβs a little afraid of kids. But with just one thin wall separating the two condos, Nick proves difficult to avoid. His quiet confidence forces Sam to grapple with the other men in her life: her emotionally derelict friendwithbenefits and her actually derelict father. As her unexpected connection with Nick heats up (and steams up his minivan windows), Sam finds herself falling fast for a man whose life is steady and settledβwhile hers is anything but.
