"A funny and moving look at the way friendship, grief and destiny inform love . . . a comedy that makes you laugh and a drama that makes you cry. Supremely satisfying, the way a great romantic comedy makes you feel." — Susan Cartsonis, producer of What Women Want and The Duff

"Dana Miller's charming romantic debut has the lightness of a meringue. But do not be deceived. Beneath the frothiness is a story of depth and insight and compassion about first love, fate, and following your heart." – Nina Solomon, author of Single Wife and The Love Book

Laina Jorden can barely drag herself out of bed before lunch. Her Shakespeare-themed Staten Island bookstore is failing, her room's a disaster, and she's lost her belief in fate since her childhood sweetheart moved away, leaving her brokenhearted. Any man who asks her out she quickly kicks to the curb. No one can compare to Jared.
Then her roommate forces her to attend his cousin's wedding, and suddenly she's walking down the aisle as an emergency bridesmaid in a dress sized for someone nine months pregnant. Even after drinking too much and setting herself on fire, Laina catches Mason's eye. He seems perfect. But months later, meeting his family in the Bahamas, she discovers his stepbrother, "JP", is her old flame Jared.
Is it too late to untangle the web she's twisted in? Laina must uncover secrets, face a few of her own, balance friendship against romance, and fight to regain control of her fate.
