Helen Zhang hasn't seen Grant Shepard once in the thirteen years since the tragic accident that bound their lives together forever.
Now a bestselling author, Helen pours everything into her career. She's even scored a coveted spot in the writers' room of the TV adaptation of her popular young adult novels, and if she can hide her imposter syndrome and overcome her writer's block, surely the rest of her life will fall into place too. LA is the fresh start she needs. After all, no one knows her there. Except...
Grant has done everything in his power to move on from the past, including building a life across the country. And while the panic attacks have never quite gone away, he's well liked around town as a screenwriter. He knows he shouldn't have taken the job on Helen's show, but it will open doors to developing his own projects that he just can't pass up.
Grant's exactly as Helen remembers him--charming, funny, popular, and lovable in ways that she's never been. And Helen's exactly as Grant remembers too--brilliant, beautiful, closed off. But working together is messy, and electrifying, and Helen's parents, who have never forgiven Grant, have no idea he's in the picture at all.
When secrets come to light, they must reckon with the fact that theirs was never meant to be any kind of love story. And yet... the key to making peace with their past--and themselves--might just lie in holding on to each other in the present.

This is my romance wishlist made into a book.
Imagine the person partly responsible for your siblings death is now your coworker.... and you two may be falling in love.
Both are writers and both are part of a book to tv adaptation. Tension is high and bristly (rightfully so) But as we get closer glimpse at both characters we truly see how deeply human they are... and how deeply attached they are meant to be, as soulmates.
A beautiful falling in love journey that will absolutely devastate and obliterate your heart. What more can you ask for?
Lots of talk about grief and grieving a family member and suicide talk.
Amazing, passionate, and detailed steamy scenes as well.
I did like the romance story but I was thrown off by some of the POV changes, and some of it felt a bit rushed. Overall I did enjoy it!
