Résumé
INSTANT #1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER*SHORTLISTED FOR CANADA READS 2024*In this breathtaking new novel from the #1 bestselling author of Every Summer After, a random connection sends two strangers on a daylong adventure where they make… a promise one keeps and the other breaks, with life-changing effects.Fern Brookbanks has wasted far too much of her adult life thinking about Will Baxter. She spent just twenty-four hours in her early twenties with the aggravatingly attractive, idealistic artist, a chance encounter that spiraled into a daylong adventure in Toronto. The timing was wrong, but their connection was undeniable: they shared every secret, every dream, and made a pact to meet one year later. Fern showed up. Will didn&’t.At thirty-two, Fern&’s life doesn&’t look at all how she once imagined it would. Instead of living in the city, Fern&’s back home, running her mother&’s Muskoka lakeside resort—something she vowed never to do. The place is in disarray, her ex-boyfriend&’s the manager, and Fern doesn&’t know where to begin.She needs a plan—a lifeline. To her surprise, it comes in the form of Will, who arrives nine years too late, with a suitcase in tow and an offer to help on his lips. Will may be the only person who understands what Fern&’s going through. But how could she possibly trust this expensive-suit wearing mirage who seems nothing like the young man she met all those years ago. Will is hiding something, and Fern&’s not sure she wants to know what it is. But ten years ago, Will Baxter rescued Fern. Can she do the same for him?
