About the Book



"In this splendidly bittersweet debut romantic comedy, enemies forced together by a mutual loss are led on a cross-country journey toward a second chance. Maddie Sanderson would be proud to honor her older brother's dying wish, that she scatters his ashes over eight destinations that the adventurous 29-year-old never got to visit before he died from cancer. But in his will, Josh assigned her an impossible partner to help complete the mission-Dominic Perry. Seriously, if Maddie weren't already at his funeral, she would have killed him for this. Sure, Dom was Josh's life-long best friend. He's also the infuriating man who broke Maddie's heart back when she was naèive enough to give it to him. But since Dom insists on following the rules and Josh didn't leave much room for Maddie to argue the matter, they embark together on a farewell trip that spans thousands of miles, exploring new places and revisiting their complicated history along the way. After a snowstorm leads to a shared bed, Maddie starts to wonder if her brother might be matchmaking from the grave. But when grief also reopens old wounds between them, Maddie might need more than Josh's ghostly guidance to trust Dom again"--



Book Synopsis



In this splendidly bittersweet romantic comedy, enemies forced together by a mutual loss are led on a cross-country journey toward a second chance.

Maddie Sanderson would be proud to honor her older brother's dying wish, that she scatters his ashes over eight destinations that the adventurous 29-year-old never got to visit before he died from cancer. But in his will, Josh assigned her an impossible partner to help complete the mission--Dominic Perry. Seriously, if Maddie weren't already at her brother's funeral, she would have killed him for this.

Sure, Dom was Josh's life-long best friend. He's also the infuriating man who broke Maddie's heart back when she was naïve enough to give it to him. But since Dom insists on following the rules and Josh didn't leave much room for Maddie to argue the matter, they embark together on a series of farewell trips that span thousands of miles, exploring new places and revisiting their complicated history along the way.

After a snowstorm leads to a shared bed, Maddie starts to wonder if her brother might be matchmaking from the grave. But when grief also reopens old wounds between them, Maddie will need more than Josh's ghostly guidance to trust Dom again.

I loved this story. I wanted to finish it and I wanted it to continue forever at the same time. It took me around two days to finish not because it wasn’t good, but because I didn’t want it to be over. I really liked Maddie and Dom, and as usual with a Lauren Connoly Romance, the side characters are memorable as well as endearing. They feel fully fleshed out, and the world feels full of their presence. Maddie is snarky and sarcastic, and her dry (and oftentimes dark) humor made me laugh or giggle every time. Dom’s stoic presence looms in the background even when he’s not in the scene, in a good way. As if you could feel his presence and his support through Maddie’s words, even if she didn’t realize it. This is a story about grief, but it is also about forgiveness and self-worth. Maddie grows a great deal through the story, and Dom is a very supportive partner through it all, even when Maddie pushes him away. I always can see something of myself in Lauren Connoly’s characters, and this book wasn’t the exception. Maddie’s insecurities and her tendency to bottle up her feelings resonated with me. But you could always count on her snarky remarks to make you laugh and lighten things up. Being in her head was interesting, and I didn’t miss the usual dual POV. The romance is realistic, they work for the relationship, and their issues don’t get solved magically once they say I love you. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and I thank Berkeley, NetGalley, and, of course, the author, for the opportunity to read and review the ARC for this book.
