Lily’s Content Guide
💋 Romance level: Kisses Only
🗣️ Language: None
📚 Genre: Contemporary Romance
🎀 Lily’s verdict: Absolutely adored 💖
This was SUCH a fun read! The pranks and shenanigans had me laughing so much 😂 I seriously loved the creativity and never knew what these two were going to do next!
I absolutely loved the way the dual timeline was written. Ben’s POV takes place in the past while Maven’s is in the present, and the two timelines slowly come together as the story unfolds😍 It made their history and everything that happened between them so much more interesting to uncover!
And the second chance romance was done SO well🥹 I loved getting to see Ben and Maven as high school sweethearts while also watching them navigate their relationship years later. There’s so much history, hurt, and love between these two, and I was completely invested in seeing them find their way back to each other.
But the vow renewal?! 😭😭 That absolutely got me. It was so incredibly precious and heart melting and such a beautiful payoff after everything they had been through.
This book had me laughing one minute and tearing up the next. Such a sweet, hilarious, and heartfelt second chance romance💗

BLURB: Their divorce never finalized. Neither did their feelings.
The discovery that I was still legally married — years after I thought my divorce was final — was supposed to be the worst thing to happen to me this fall.
It wasn’t.
Because apparently the state of Vermont believes in closure. And no regrets. And court-ordered thirty-day reconciliation efforts. So now, in order to fast-track my divorce from Bennett Walker—my high school sweetheart and the man who walked out on our marriage six years ago—I’m being forced back to the small town we grew up in to spend an entire month proving our relationship isn’t worth saving.
A situation Ben annoyingly finds amusing.
Which is why I plan to make this the most memorable, insufferable, torturous thirty days of his life. As a prank-loving aficionado, I have countless ideas about how to drive Ben crazy while keeping myself focused on the goal: finalizing our divorce.
With my life in New York and a career I absolutely love, not even deeply embedded habits and old feelings can threaten my resolve.
I’m resolved.
So resolved.
Absolutely, definitely, one hundred percent resolved. And if I keep saying it, maybe this time around, I’ll be capable of resisting the fall.
