About this book

Macy Sorensen is settling into an ambitious if emotionally tepid pediatrics residency when she runs into Elliot Petropoulos—the first and only love of her life. Once, Elliot was Macy's entire world: growing up, they spent weekends reading books in a closet and sharing words. But after an unspeakable betrayal on the night he confessed his love, they became strangers.
