Description
A heart-stoppingly romantic exploration of all the what-ifs. I loved it! — ANNABEL MONAGHAN
From No. 1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Kate comes an enemies-to-lovers 'what if' romance about a prom kiss that never was, and one woman's magical chance to live what might have been...
This is not how Liv wanted to see Jake Glasswell for the first time in ten years. Once her high school rival and the prom date who humiliated her, now a successful TV personality, he's more attractive than he has any right to be. And he's her Lyft passenger.
Since the prom night kiss that never was, Liv's life has not gone to plan. She deferred Julliard to be with her mum during a crisis, and now swears she's happy as a recently furloughed drama teacher going on no-strings dates. This weekend she's maid of honour to her best friend, Masha, and, of course, Jake is the best man. But when Liv glares into Jake's eyes as Masha says, 'I do', the universe turns on its axis and Liv is suddenly living a version of her life where prom night was the beginning of her and Jake, not the end, and it turns out he's the love of her life. The catch? Her mum and Masha hate her now. What's in a kiss? Maybe everything.
