For fans of Emily Henry and Taylor Jenkins Reid, a contemporary romance about returning home to confront past heartbreak, family ties, and the allure of a second chance at love.
Kate Daileys life is built on three unshakeable beliefs: Taylor Swifts music is the ultimate cure, Happily Ever After doesnt exist, and Jason Cole is the last person on earth she wants to see again. Growing up in a small town, Jase was her first everything—kiss, friend, and beacon of hope through her darkest days, especially with her fathers battles with alcoholism. But when Jase shattered her heart, Kate left everything behind, including him and the memories of fireflies and Magnolia trees.
Now, six years later, Kate has carved out a new existence in NYC, armed with a sassy pup and a dream job at Q Magazine. Yet, when family duty calls her back home to confront her past, including the boy next door who became the man she loves to hate, Kates carefully constructed world starts to wobble. Facing Jase again, along with her complex family dynamics and the small-town life she escaped, Kate is torn between the safety of the life shes built and the perilous allure of a second chance with the one who broke her beyond repair.
In a story where heartbreak and hope collide, Kate must decide if shes willing to risk everything for a shot at true happiness, or if some wounds are just too deep to heal. Can the melodies of Taylor Swift guide her towards her own Happily Ever After, or will Kate find that some things, like her love for Jase, are too persistent to ignore?
