Today's Book of the Day

Our Perfect Storm

Carley Fortune

Carley Fortune strands two lifelong best friends on a honeymoon that was meant for someone else. Frankie and George have known each other since they were eight, and Our Perfect Storm puts all that history in a single rainy week on the Tofino coast. A friends-to-lovers romance that understands how much a shared past can cost.

From the review

Some romances only work if you believe the two people have genuinely known each other forever. Fortune builds that belief patiently. Frankie and George meet at eight, and by page one you can feel the wear pattern of a long friendship: the private shorthand, the old grievances, the way they reach for each other's worst buttons because they know exactly where those buttons live. The book's smartest decision is its timing. It starts at the worst possible moment, the eve of Frankie's wedding, with the two of them not even sure they're still speaking. When George finally walks through the door, relief and tension show up in the same breath. That's the engine, and Fortune has it running early.
