Perfect for you if...

You love second-chance romance where the emotional stakes feel real and the chemistry between exes crackles with unresolved tension.
You're drawn to contemporary romance with a rock or music scene backdrop, especially when the male lead is flawed and self-aware about his feelings.
You appreciate stories where forced proximity strips away defences and characters have to confront why their relationship actually fell apart.

Maybe not for you if...

You want a light, breezy read without heavy emotional baggage; this book mines the messiness of divorce and regret.
You're looking for a plot that surprises you; the beats of exes reconnecting and remembering why they loved each other are fairly familiar.
You prefer stories where the external conflict (the lie to Mimi) drives the narrative; here, the internal emotional work is the real engine.

About this book

A rock musician whose bandmates avoid mentioning his ex-wife Nicole must confront his past when she calls after three years of divorce. Nicole's grandmother, Mimi, is ill and has one final wish: to spend time with both of them together. Nicole asks him to move into Mimi's small-town house for a couple of weeks while her caretaker is away. There is a complication: Mimi doesn't know about the divorce. Nicole kept it from her grandmother, believing she couldn't handle the news given how much she loved him. He agrees to the arrangement, but it means pretending to still be Nicole's husband while sharing close quarters with the woman who was once his wife. As he navigates two weeks in a tiny house with Nicole, he must reckon with unresolved questions about their relationship and who truly broke whose heart.
