Synopsis

From the writer who brought you the Irish romance The Upside of Falling Down comes a new novel about secrets, friendship, reinvention, and unexpected love in the Scottish Highlands.June Merriweather is on the run—from her own life. Her brother is dead, her parents are liars, and her college major is a joke. Apart from her best friend, Matt, June is desperate for reinvention. And a one-way ticket out of Cincinnati to the Scottish Highlands is a good place to start.With a backpack, an urn, and a secret, June begins again. She snags a job at a café and finds lodging at a quaint inn with a quirky cast of housemates. The only problem: the inn’s infuriatingly perceptive (and sexy) owner, Lennox. He’s suspicious of June. After all, no one comes to Scotland in the winter unless they’re running from something. From rocky start to sizzling temptation, June’s new world is exhilarating…and one detour away from disaster.With her past and her future both vying for attention, June can’t begin to picture where her reimagined life is headed next. And falling in love with the last person she expected is only the beginning.

Goodreads review by John

I've enjoyed Rebekah Crane's books, some more than others, but never read a dud of hers. Until now.

Quotes

“Narrator Amanda Berry’s skill with accents, cadence, and characterizations is outstanding. June appears flighty while Lennox radiates anger—Berry reads them both effortlessly. She also takes time to satisfyingly voice secondary characters as well. Berry’s nuanced narration of Crane’s (The Upside of Falling Down) adult debut elevates this enemies-to-lovers romance.” Library Journal“[T]he real love story here is between the protagonist and her authentic life…A sincere story about navigating life and love.” Kirkus Reviews
