What happens when you fall hard for your fallback? In this luminous love story, a young woman who&’s spent years traveling the globe to outrun her own grief faces a momentous decision on her 33rd birthday . . .A moving… story about wanderlust, loss, hope, and the special magic of finding love in unexpected places—at just the right time - for readers of Elena Armas, Emily Henry and Mia Sosa, from the acclaimed author of the Reese Witherspoon YA Book Club Pick Furia. All Stevie Choi ever wanted was a cozy life in suburbia—a loving husband, adorable kids, a dog. That simple dream shattered into a million pieces when she was only seventeen. She&’s spent the years since trying to outrun the pain and make something of herself, if only to prove to her estranged family that she&’s happy and successful—even though she&’s secretly yearning for another chance at love. If only she believed she deserved it . . . So, Stevie drowns herself in her job, and in the low season, &“dates&” new countries, leaving her Utah home-base to circle the globe, from Paris to Cairo to Cabo San Lucas, curating a gorgeous Instagram feed—while spending every New Year alone. Then one frigid January day in Rome she meets Cristian. He would be her perfect match—if they weren&’t separated by continents and obligations. Unable to say goodbye, they agree that if they&’re both single at seventy, they&’ll marry each other if only to have a fun companion to travel with . . . But through the years, their friendship grows into something more, and suddenly it&’s up to Stevie to choose happiness . . . Sparkling with hope, All Roads Lead to Rome soulfully examines all the ways a tender heart can be broken—and how faith in the future—and in oneself—can make it whole again . . .
