A DEEPLY EMOTIONAL, SECOND CHANCE, FRIENDS-TO-LOVERS-TO-ENEMIES-TO-LOVERS, NEW ADULT ROMANCE

ABOUT THE BOOK
Childhood sweethearts Derek and Eliza were each other's firsts for everything. First hug, first kiss, first love ... and first heartbreak.

Because a week after they lose their virginity, he dumps her and leaves town with a vow to never speak to her again.

Four years later, Derek Smyth, the dark-eyed musician who Eli fell in love with, is back in town.

He just wants to move on, but she wants revenge.

With a runaway brother who lives in a van, an enemy with a secret that could change everything, and a best friend who has the perfect plan to break Derek's heart, Eli finds herself caught between the past, the future, and finding out what forgiveness and forever really mean.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
"Where do I even start with this book! When I describe my taste in romance books, second chance, childhood friends, or a slow burn are never words I use - but this book could be described as all of those and I wanted ALL OF IT. I felt just about every emotion when reading this story that was full of humor, self-discovery, banter, outrageous schemes, friendship, flowers, music, pancakes, adorable sibling relationships, loss, grief, re-connection, and love. But wait how does all of that fit in a story and not feel messy? Idk, but Amanda has figured it out. This book is way better than anything I can try (or have tried) to say about it. It's great, highly recommend." -Bree, @brees.reads, Instagram review, ★★★★★

"Without a doubt my favourite romance of the year. Enemies to lovers/second chance romance. So much depth, so much character growth. Grief and forgiveness being the main themes. The chemistry between the MCs was palpable. I've never felt a literal buzz reading about two characters before. Amanda, you absolutely nailed it." -Laura, @readwithlaurae, Instagram review, ★★★★★

"If I had to describe this book in a few words, it would be raw, emotional and complicated." -Sabina, @ms.bookobsession, Instagram review, ★★★★★

"Just finished my reread of this gem ... Derek is one my favorite male MCs I've ever read and the chemistry he has with Eli is just *chef's kiss.* This book is also filled with music references and I feel it adds a unique element to the story, allowing the reader to connect with the characters on a deeper level. If you love second chance romance focusing on forgiveness, loss, and finding oneself, do yourself a favor and read this book." -Chelsea, @readwithchelsea, Instagram review, ★★★★★

"This was a perfect story of that intense first love gone wrong and the question if such all-consuming heartbreak can ever be mended? Read this book and let yourself drown in the emotions before you're thrown a life raft and wrapped in a warm, fuzzy blanket of feelings." -Kasey, @mybestbooklife, Instagram review, ★★★★★

"Cannot stop thinking about your beautiful book ... you know how our eyes sort of change when we read something that affects us? That makes us realize something? That we might know but have never thought of it THAT way. Yup, your book made that happen to me so many times. Loved it. Thank you so so much for writing this gem." -@bookquotesthattouchthesoul, Instagram DM, ★★★★★

"Honestly I had butterflies with all the longing, the story is so strong and creates such a great backbone and set up of all the characters that not only are you desperate for them to get together you also are rooting for them too. -Emma, GoodReads review, ★★★★★
