About the book: From the #1New York Timesbestselling author ofSay You'll Remember Me comes a beautiful, compelling novel that revels in laughter, friendship, and the messy choices life can throw our way.

In everyone's life, there's a split-second decision that can change everything ...

For Larissa, it came when choosing who to ride home with after a concert. That night, she had no idea she'd met the perfect man. She and Chris are great friends, co-parenting a slightly unhinged rescue Yorkie, sharing their favorite books, and judging bread (pumpernickel for the win!). For the first time amid all her side hustles to scrape by, things finally feel easy.

But she didn't choose Chris to drive her home all those months ago--she went with his best friend, and he became her boyfriend. All Chris wants is for Larissa to be happy. Standing by on the sidelines is slowly killing him, but making a move would destroy someone else.

How can something that feels so right be absolutely impossible?

About the speakers:

Abby Jimenez is a #1 New York Times bestselling author of laugh-out-loud, pull-at-your-heartstrings romantic fiction. Her novels have sold over 1.5 million copies and been translated into 28 languages. Some of her favorite highlights include a Good Morning America Book Club pick, a BOTM’s Book of the Year Award, and the Minnesota Book Award. Before her writing career, Abby was in the national spotlight as a Cupcake Wars champion and founder of Nadia Cakes bakery, which has since gone on to win numerous Food Network competitions and amass an international following. She lives near Minneapolis with her husband, three daughters, and dogs—all TikTok famous in their own right. Abby loves romance novels, coffee, doglets, and not leaving the house.

Trilina Pucci is a #1 Amazon and USA TODAY Bestselling Author who writes romance worth losing sleep over—the kind that blends heat, humor, and emotional depth. Known for her genre-blending style, razor-sharp banter, and heroines who are unapologetically themselves, Trilina’s books deliver passion with a side of laugh-out-loud moments and heart-stopping feels.

Her writing career began as an impulsive, slightly petty challenge after someone suggested she couldn’t do it. (She could. And did. A lot.) What started as a wild hare of an idea quickly evolved into a deeply fulfilling career surrounded by unforgettable characters, devoted readers, and a vibrant community that feels like home.

When she’s not wreaking emotional havoc on fictional couples, Trilina can be found deep in a Netflix binge with her husband, Anthony, and their three kids who keep life loud, chaotic, and caffeinated. Her stories promise addictive romance, sharp dialogue, bold women, and love stories that stay with you long after the lights are out.
