An uplifting novel of courage and connection that explores how two wounded people can rebuild their lives when everything feels broken
After a heartbreaking loss, Zoe loses a part of herself too. When she returns to work, everyone there is tiptoeing around her, hoping she is back to normal. But she knows she’ll never be the same carefree party girl she was before.
Then she meets her disarmingly charismatic colleague, Cian, who’s working from home after a climbing accident has left him temporarily immobile. As they spend the summer hiding from a heat wave, arguing about Studio Ghibli and sharing moments of vulnerability, their cautious friendship grows into something deeper. But as Cian grapples with his own restless spirit and Zoe keeps everyone at arm’s length, there are a hundred reasons for them to hit the brakes.
Zoe has a choice to make—retreat into her shell and cling to the safety of what she knows, or risk it all and take a leap of faith into the unknown.
