Description

From the bestselling author of Funny You Should Ask comes an inspiring romance novel about honouring the past, living in the present, and loving for the future. Can you really find a once-in-a-lifetime love . . . twice? In her small Montana hometown, Lauren Parker has assumed a few different roles: teenage hellraiser; sister of superstar Gabe Parker; and most recently, tragically widowed single mother. She's never cared much about labels or what people thought about her, but dealing with her grief has slowly revealed that she's become adrift in her own life. Then she meets the devilishly handsome actor Ben Walsh on the set of her brother's new movie. They have instant chemistry, and Lauren realises that it has been far too long since someone has really and truly seen her. Her rebellious spirit spurs her to dive headfirst into her desire, but when a sexy encounter becomes something more, Lauren finds herself balancing old roles and new possibilities. There's still plenty to contend with: her disapproving mother-in-law, the complications of Ben's fame, and her daughter's unpredictable moods. An unexpected fling seemed simple at the time - so when did everything with Ben get so complicated? And is there enough room in her life for the woman Lauren wants to be? Why readers LOVE Totally and Completely Fine . . . 'This is not just a love story - it's a deeply moving, beautiful exploration of grief, love, and the complicated act of starting over' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'I love this author so much . . . She always makes her characters relatable and down to earth despite their larger-than-life personas' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'I LOVED THIS BOOK . . . [Sussman's] portrayal of grief was both beautiful and heartbreakingly relatable . . . And those little glimpses of Gabe, Chani, and Ollie? Absolute gold' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Elissa is a master at blending humour and wit with deep feelings and swoony moments' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Funny and sad and sexy at the same time . . . Sussman's best book yet!' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'A hilarious and beautiful look at finding love again' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Delightful! A really satisfying continuation of the story Elissa Sussman began in Funny You Should Ask' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Praise for Elissa Sussman 'A pitch-perfect second chance romance with off-the-charts tension and chemistry' CARLEY FORTUNE 'A breezy, addictive romance - I couldn't put it down!' RACHEL LYNN SOLOMON 'Delightful banter, hot romance and a love story that's worthy of the big screen' KATE SPENCER 'The angsty, sexy backstage romance of my dreams' AVA WILDER
