Bøger af Dana Miller

"A truly sympathetic main character, sparkling dialogue, and a deeper message about loving oneself first make this contemporary a must-read." - Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) "A funny and moving look at the way friendship, grief and destiny inform love . . . a comedy that makes you laugh and a drama that makes you cry. Supremely satisfying, the way a great romantic comedy makes you feel." - Susan Cartsonis, producer of What Women Want and The Duff "Dana Miller's charming romantic debut has the lightness of a meringue. But do not be deceived. Beneath the frothiness is a story of depth and insight and compassion about first love, fate, and following your heart." - Nina Solomon, author of Single Wife and The Love Book Laina Jorden's Shakespeare-themed Staten Island bookstore is on the brink of failure.

But a few months later, while she's meeting his family in the Bahamas, Laina realizes that Mason's stepbrother, JP, is none other than her old flame Jared. Is it too late to untangle the web she's twisted in? Determined to find true happiness, Laina must uncover secrets and balance friendship against love as she fights to regain her destiny.
