Fern met Will 10 years ago and he had a big influence on her. We explore that with a series of flashbacks, but at the end of their platonic time together, they agree to meet one year from that day at her mother’s resort. Spoiler alert, he didn’t show up. Fast forward to today, and Fern’s mother recently died in a car accident, so she’s trying to decide what to do about the resort that she now owns. In comes Will, who’s this fancy marketing agent or something?? And he tells her that her mother had hired him to help with marketing for the resort, because the resort has been having some money issues. Now Fern has to decide whether to take over the resort and work with Will to get it going again or to sell the resort to a hotel chain, all while trying to forget about the feelings that Will is stirring up in her. This is a second chance romance, which seems to be Carley Fortune’s thing.
The main characters develop a close bond over a short time period. Have we ever felt a strong and fast connection with another person, whether platonic or romantic? Do we think Fern’s decision to stay on at the resort is driven by the guilt she feels around her relationship with her mother? Do our lives look like we pictured when we were younger. Join us as we discuss these questions and more in episode 14 of our spoiler-filled podcast.
Questions: The questions discussed in this episode can be found at the back of the book. Because of the novelty of this book, we couldn’t find the questions online, but as soon as they're available, they will be linked here.
Great music huh?! The music for the intro and outro are segments from a song titled "Busy City" by TrackTribe, which was accessed through the YouTube audio library.
Coming up next: Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros
