"THE WHAT IF GUY" by Brooke Moss is adorable with refreshing
characters tackling issues of small town gossip and broken
pasts. Definitely a feel good read!
After losing her job at a swanky Seattle art gallery, single
mother Autumn Cole reluctantly returns to her tiny hometown
of Fairfield, Washington. Autumn’s disgruntled twelve-year
old son isn’t thrilled about going from hip to hick, but
Autumn’s got it worse. She’ll get to resume her role as the
town drunk’s daughter.
When his public divorce turns ugly, history teacher Henry
Tobler decides to disappear. He finds exactly what he’s
looking for amidst Fairfield’s quirky residents, but when
the woman he’s pined for since college shows up and nearly
breaks his nose in front of a classroom full of
twelve-year-olds, his newfound peace threatens to crumble.
Autumn cannot believe Henry is in Fairfield, or that fate
chose such a miserable time to drop him back in her life.
She and her father face a crisis decades in the making. Can
rediscovering love--and herself--with her “what if” guy
teach Autumn to forgive before it’s too late?
