Taylor Coleman has built the perfect life-until her ex-girlfriend, Megan Barkin, returns to town and upends everything she thought she wanted.
Taylor Coleman prides herself on being a "good girl." She's gone to the right schools, is on the partner track, and in her mid-thirties, she's finally dating the right woman. Her life is orderly, ambitious, and exactly the way she planned it.
Until Megan Barkin comes back.
Megan-reckless, charming, impossible to ignore-is the ex Taylor has spent years trying to forget. Even with three thousand miles between them, getting over Megan was never easy. And now that Megan is back in town, Taylor finds herself pulled once again into her orbit: the worldliness, the ease, the spark that once made everything feel possible.
When Megan dangles the college dream they once shared-opening an art gallery together-Taylor faces a choice she avoided the first time: protect the life she's carefully curated, or risk everything on the woman who broke her heart.
Will sparks fly again, or will Taylor's whole life go up in flames?
A smart, funny, and emotionally sharp novel about ambition, desire, and the complicated gravity of first love.
