This story felt like the warmest hug on a day you desperately need one. The kind of book that wraps around your heart and stays there long after you turn the last page.

The notes, the trip, the list… every little piece of this story felt so special. I laughed, I cried (a lot ), and I loved every second of it.

And Milo He was so beautifully imperfect in the most endearing way—the kind of character who feels achingly real and impossible not to love.

The faith elements were woven in so naturally and added such a beautiful layer of depth and comfort to the story.
This is 100% becoming one of my ultimate comfort reads

Content Warnings: Things from the past that are recounted in the story: childhood abandonment, car accident, season of depression.

BLURB: Sadie Summers has spent her entire life being exactly who everyone expects her to be.

Responsible. Reliable. Rooted in Dusty Hollow, Texas.

But somewhere between checking boxes, keeping the peace, and making sure everyone else is taken care of, she forgot what it feels like to choose herself.

When she stumbles upon a list titled Try Something You’ve Never Done, Sadie begins to wonder what it might look like to step outside her carefully ordered world—to want more than what’s safe and familiar. What she doesn’t expect is for the list to lead her straight back to Milo Carter.

Milo was her first love. The one who left town—and the one who never really left her heart. Now he’s back, older, steadier, and certain about what he wants. And what he wants is Sadie.

As they begin checking off the list together, Sadie finds herself laughing more, hesitating less, and facing the one question she can’t avoid forever: who is she when she stops living for everyone else?

A heartfelt, small-town romance about faith, freedom, first love, and finding the courage to live a life that finally feels like your own.
