International bestselling author María Martínez pens an emotional new adult contemporary romance perfect for readers of Colleen Hoover, Elle Kennedy, and Alice Kellen. Until she can figure out what she wants for herself, love will always be a disaster. Twenty year-old Harper Weston always wanted to be a book editor. But when she inherits her grandmother's beloved bookstore, she has to decide between carrying her grandmother's legacy forward and the carefully planned life she had envisioned for herself. After all, her love for reading came from her grandmother, who always supported her dreams; but grief, sadness and resentment at the loss of both her grandmother and her dream job resurfaces every time she steps foot in the store. Amid her uncertainty, Harper struggles to welcome all her family who has come into town to celebrate her older sister Hayley's wedding, especially her opinionated father, who she doesn't get along with. But she did not expect the wedding to bring back Trey Holt, a close friend of her siblings who Harper has been in love with for years. Faced with many conflicting thoughts and decisions to make, Harper takes a little island trip to get away from it all and to think. Little did she know that the trip would change her life, and would send her right into the arms of the person she needs answers from the most.
