Avery and Miles were once akin to blueberry pancakes & maple syrup—until things turned sticky. They haven’t spoken since.
A decade later, their worlds collide while helping a mutual friend, and Avery begins to question her perceptions of Miles, their love, and herself.

Good morning.

If you don't hear from me for a few months it's because I accidentally subscribed to the romancelandia feed and now can't stop reading about tropes and character arcs.

Today’s #fridaykiss is #tears and I was so worried “tears” would be one of my most overused words. The relief I felt when it was not!
