Synopsis

A kid walks into your bookstore, and … guess what?
He’s your son. The one you put up for adoption eighteen years ago.
The one you never told anyone about. Surprise!
And it's a huge surprise.

It’s a huge surprise to his adoptive mother, Monica, who thought she had a close relationship with Matthew, her nearly adult son. But apparently, he felt the need to secretly arrange a vacation to Cape Cod for the summer so he could meet his birth mother … without a word to either Monica or his dad.

It’s also a surprise—to say the least—to Harlow, the woman who secretly placed her baby for adoption so many years ago. She’s spent the years since then building a quiet life. She runs a bookstore with her grandfather, hangs out with her four younger siblings, and is more or less happily single, though
she can’t help gravitating toward Grady Byrne, her old friend from high school. He’s moved back to town, four-year-old daughter in tow, no wife in the picture. But Harlow has always figured her life had to be child-free, so that complicates things.

When Matthew walks into Harlow’s store, she faints. Monica panics. And all their assumptions—about what being a parent really means—explode. This summer will be full of more surprises as both their families are redefined … and as both women learn that for them, there’s no limit to a mother’s love.

Kristan Higgins is one of those authors who I would read their grocery list if they published it - she's such a talented novelist that I do not even need to read a synopsis to know I am going to love her books. Throw in a main character who owns a BOOKSTORE and I only needed to read a chapter or two......more
