FOR EMILY AND GEN, THIS IS LOVE...AT LAST.

Emily has a life many would envy: a Manhattan townhouse, two sweet children, and an adoring husband, Jack. But Jack isn't what he appears, and Emily's marriage is secretly troubled.

During their rocky separation, Emily encounters someone she's tried not to think about for years: Gen Hall.

As teenagers, she was Emily's best friend, first love – and first heartbreak. Emily thought that she'd never recover from losing her. Now, separated by over a decade of mistakes and miscommunications, can they find their way back to each other?

What comes next is a sweeping queer love story about desire, friendship, and above all, the possibility of second chances.
