“Poignant, observant, tender, and deeply romantic. Clayborn takes what she does best and goes deeper, deftly braiding mystery and family drama with an absorbing romance in her trademark lyrical voice. This book is everything.”—CHRISTINA LAUREN, New York Times bestselling authors of The True Love Experiment
Hairstylist Jess Greene has spent the last decade raising her younger half-sister, Tegan—and keeping a shocking secret. Ever since their reckless mother ran off with a boyfriend she’d known only a few months, Jess has been aware that he’s the same accomplished con man who was the subject of a wildly popular podcast, The Last Con of Lynton Baltimore.
Now thirty-one, Jess didn’t bargain on Tegan eventually piecing together the connection for herself. But Tegan plans to do exactly what Jess has always feared—leave their safe, stable home to search for their mother—and she’ll be accompanied by the prying podcast host and her watchful, handsome producer, Adam Hawkins. Unwilling to let the sister she’s spent so much of her life protecting go it alone, Jess reluctantly joins them.
Together, the four make their way across the country, unraveling the mystery of where the couple disappeared to and why. But soon Jess is discovering other things too. Like a renewed sense of vulnerability and curiosity, and a willingness to expand beyond the walls she’s so carefully built. And in Adam, she finds an unexpected connection she didn’t even know was missing, if only she can let go and let him in . . .

"I love you, and I haven’t loved many people in my life, so I don’t think I’ve done the best job at it. But you said you’d help me, and I was wondering if that offer still stands. If you—if you can be patient while I’m working on helping myself." A heartwarming, genuine, and inspirational story that delves into the lives of people who disappear, taking parts of their loved ones with them and leave them feeling like half-empty shelves. This book was heavy on the romance which I really enjoyed. There were also a lot of weighted mental health issues, which kind of lead me to slow down in my reading. I enjoyed following the experiences of all the different characters in their journey of self-discovery and trauma-processing. And then there was also the road trip to take and a mystery to be solved. The narrative beautifully explored dysfunctional family dynamics, sisterhood, self-discovery, and healing traumatic wounds, all blended into a love story. The complex bond between sisters was especially moving. It sounds like a lot, but all the themes were interwoven in a perfectly. The topic was heavy, but the author approached it with wisdom and respect for human emotions.
