When Thirty-four-year-old Cassie receives a wedding invitation from her high school crush, Nick Baker, she’s shocked to find the bride is… Her.

 

The invite is a reminder of a drunken promise she made years ago, “If we’re still single by the time we’re 35, we get married. Ok?” He ghosted her the next day, and for nine years she was left to wonder why.

 

Working her underpaid, dead-end job and living in her sister’s flat, Cassie has no idea what life holds for her over the next year, but she’s pretty sure it’s not a wedding. Her goals are far more realistic: a boyfriend who isn’t a jerk half the time, a promotion, her own place, and a cat. Not too much to ask for right? 

 

Cassie may have been smitten with Nick since she was fifteen, but she is determined not to let him break her heart again, no matter how intent he seems to work his way back into her life. Nick has changed since her youth, but he still has all the charm and looks that made her fall for him in the first place, weakening her will-power with every word, smile, and glass of wine. Still, Nick has nine years of explaining to do, and when his past starts interfering with his plans, the man she loves reverts into the boy who ghosted her.

 

Cassie needs to decide: Is she willing to risk another nine years of heartbreak for a chance at love?
