Description

In this warm and witty novel from the author of You’ll Find It All Still Here, a young woman makes a match where she least expects it—in Florida’s kooky retirement community.

Phoebe Kleiner names nail polish for a living: Chunky Cardigan, Heartbreak Healer, Win-Win. Too bad her marketing prowess doesn’t extend to her love life. At twenty-nine, freshly dumped and watching her friends march down the aisle, she’s stuck wearing a shade between heartbreak and humiliation.

After her great aunt dies, Phoebe gets dragged to Boca Raton to help clean out her old apartment. It’s supposed to be a quick trip—a little sun, a little schlep, maybe a rebound fling on the apps. Instead, she walks right into her mother’s identity crisis, her aunt’s crumbling marriage, and a dating scene full of retirees and red flags.

Then she meets Levi, the blue-eyed geriatrician and popular DJ who throws raves for Boca’s seniors. He makes Phoebe feel instantly understood. But as the Florida heat beats down and her family pushes her boundaries, Phoebe must think fast or risk everything. Because this fling feels like the start of something real.
