Synopsis
Rosie has been in love with her best friend for years, and she’s gotten very good at pretending she isn’t. Wesley is her person. Her constant. The one who knows her coffee order, her worst habits, and exactly how to make her laugh. Which is why watching him fall effortlessly into a relationship with someone else feels like the quiet kind of heartbreak no one else notices. Rosie does the only thing she can do to survive it, she pulls away. The more distance Rosie puts between them, the more Wesley pushes back. He’s confused, frustrated, and unexpectedly hurt by the idea of losing her. But Rosie is determined to move forward and starts rebuilding her life without him at the center of it. Enter a meddling book club of sharp tongued older women who treat her love life like a full contact sport, a mildly judgmental tortoise named Lionel, and a version of Rosie that’s finally choosing herself for once. Distance has a way of making the truth impossible to ignore, and when Rosie’s feelings come to light, Wesley is forced to confront his new reality. What’s life without Rosie?
