Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller • From the author of Funny Story

"One of my favorite authors." — Colleen Hoover

One summer. Two rivals. A plot twist they didn't see coming.

Nora Stephens' life is books — she's read them all — and she is not that type of heroine. Not the plucky one, not the laidback dream girl, and especially not the sweetheart. The only people Nora is a heroine for are her clients, for whom she lands enormous deals as a cutthroat literary agent, and her beloved little sister Libby.

Which is why she agrees to spend August in Sunshine Falls, North Carolina when Libby begs her for a sisters' trip — with visions of a small-town transformation for Nora. But instead of picnics in meadows or run-ins with a handsome country doctor, Nora keeps bumping into Charlie Lastra, a bookish brooding editor from back in the city. It would be a meet-cute if not for the fact that they've met many times and it's never been cute.

If Nora knows she's not an ideal heroine, Charlie knows he's nobody's hero. But as they are thrown together again and again — in a series of coincidences no editor worth their salt would allow — what they discover might just unravel the carefully crafted stories they've written about themselves.
