What to expect
The instant New York Times bestselling authors of The Paradise Problem and The Unhoneymooners return with an unforgettable new romance.
One tragic accident.
One troubled marriage erased from memory.
One extraordinary do-over.
Three years ago, Emery Finch did something completely out of character: she got married. To Luca - the impossibly charming landscaper she met on one blistering night in Vegas who made her laugh, made her dance, made her feel.
But now, Emery is consumed by her top-secret job, missing dinners, forgetting anniversaries, and promising herself Luca will understand once her cutting-edge research comes to light. Until the unthinkable happens: a tragic accident takes Luca from her.
Desperate not to lose him, Emery breaks every rule to bring him back. And Luca would probably thank her for it, if only he could remember her. Their first kiss, their Sunny Sundays at the beach, the life they built together . . . all of it is gone.
It may be a miracle of science, but for Emery it's her one shot at a second chance. And this time, she won't waste it - because true love is always worth reviving.

Nothing is as devastating as when the love of your life suffers a deadly accident, unless it's a lover who forgets who you are . . . the ultimate romantic do-over
The Boston Globe, Best Books of Summer
