The last thing Dee expected one night was to find Ben at her apartment door. They were absolutely inseparable friends through high school and then 10 years ago, they stopped speaking to one another. Dee was so affected by the end of their relationship—and still is—that she refers to him as “Name Redacted” on the popular podcast she co-hosts, and it’s a program where everyone divulges their secrets.
Ben has missed having Dee in his life. But following his grandmother’s death and a revelation that shocked him, he’s vowed to go after what he wants. Ten years ago, they took a road trip to visit his grandmother in Colorado and buried a time capsule in her yard; they made a promise to come back 10 years later to open it. (And you can’t go back on a pinkie swear.)
Dee agrees to take the road trip with Ben, and they quickly fall into their old banter. The chemistry between them is intense, and they’re both determined not to make the same mistakes again. But if there’s ever a chance for them to remain in each other’s lives—especially as more than friends—they’ll have to confront what happened 10 years ago that ended their friendship.
I love second-chance romances and I loved the banter between the characters, as well as the supporting characters. The snippets from Dee’s podcasts were hysterically funny.
I’m always loath to compare books and authors but this almost had a bit of an Emily Henry feel to it, but it was not duplicative in any way. I just rooted for Dee and Ben (swoon) so much!!
