By Katherine Center

Book Overview

NO ONE DOES SUMMER ROMANCE LIKE KATHERINE CENTER.
New from the New York Times bestselling author and reigning rom-com queen of the comfort reads--a swoon-worthy novel set aboard a cruise ship during a destination wedding, about old crushes, bad timing, and plans that don't go quite as expected.
She wants him to help her woo someone else.
Genius. Foolproof. Can't go wrong.

DELUXE EDITION―a gorgeous hardcover edition featuring beautiful sky blue sprayed edges

After a lifetime of being bad at love, JoJo Burton vows to solve her intimacy issues once and for all at her sister's destination wedding on a cruise ship. Armed with pop psychology, she diagnoses herself with a fixation on the neighborhood guy who was her first crush and first kiss (and who just happens to be a newly-divorced wedding guest). Determined to woo him for closure, she ropes in her childhood bestie, Cooper Watts, as her wingman. Cooper: who RSVPed no, but showed up anyway. Cooper: who moved to London without a word four years ago. Cooper: who was her greatest heartbreak.

Shipboard antics abound in this witty, heart-tugging, childhood-friends-to-lovers romance, as JoJo and Cooper team up, fake flirt, slow dance, share a cabin, sing duets, get jealous, answer long-held questions, and finally, at last, discover truths about each other that will change everything.
