Nora從沒把自己當成故事主角，身為精明強勢的出版經紀人和疼愛小妹的大姊，哪種身分都似與書中夢幻甜美的女主角相去甚遠。一場拗不過妹妹的旅行，一個新仇疊加舊恨的暴躁編輯，算不上美好邂逅，但是否有新的篇章悄然寫下…？A by-the-book literary agent must decide if happily ever after is worth changing her whole life for in this insightful, delightful new novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Beach Read and People We Meet on Vacation. Nora Stephens life is books―she’s read them all―and she is not that type of heroine. Not the plucky one, not the laidback dream girl, and especially not the sweetheart.

But instead of picnics in meadows, or run-ins with a handsome country doct
