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.

I think I went wrong by starting with the audiobook. The male voice was really bad, almost angry sounding? Maybe thatâs why I didnât connect with that character or buy his feelings. So dramatic and harsh.
And love story? It seems to me that the FMC just randomly got obsessed with the MMC and then they had a bunch of sex but I missed when the love connection happened. It just came out of nowhere.
Which leads me to my next gripe that happens in this genreâ¦Why do these books have so many f-bombs? Do people really talk like that when they are arguing with the person they love? It is so disrespectful and I donât consider myself a prude. It doesnât need to be every other word when a MMC is talking and especially unnecessary in love scenes.
I will say that this was well written but something just REALLY annoyed me about it and it didnât work for me.
