Synopsis

“A small-town second-chance romance that celebrates the joy of art, food, and chosen family with a scorching hot love story impossible not to root for.”—Amy Spalding, bestselling author of For Her Consideration

Two exes reunite to fix up and sell the bed-and-breakfast that destroyed their marriage—because some dreams, no matter how dusty or broken, deserve a second chance.

Their love story is a bit of a fixer-upper.

As newlyweds, Molly and Robin made the Hummingbird Inn into a trendy destination for queer travelers in the quirky mountain town of Eureka Springs, Arkansas. But when their career ambitions drove them apart, the young couple separated, handed over the property’s upkeep to a management firm, and never looked back.

Seven years later, Molly and Robin return to the Hummingbird Inn for very different reasons. Molly is an artist on the rise who’s been commissioned to create pieces in Eureka Springs; Robin is a celebrity chef whose restaurants have gone belly-up. Both feel entitled to their shared property, furious that the other refuses to leave, and each resorts to a series of escalating pranks in the hopes of scaring the other off. When neither woman budges, they resolve to renovate the bed-and-breakfast together, sell it, and at last go their separate ways. But their work to restore the inn’s vintage charm reignites memories—and chemistry—that make it hard to say goodbye.

* This audiobook edition includes a downloadable PDF of a cake recipe from the book.

Goodreads review by Jessica on June 14, 2025

Where to even start with this one? A second chance romance? In an adorable small town? At an inn they have to renovate together?? And it's sapphic???? This gave me all the vibes I was wanting and I literally read this entire book in 24 hours. I loved the small town that forced Robin and Molly back t......more

Goodreads review by Audrey on June 25, 2025

3.75 ⭐️ I really enjoyed this, but only once i got about 40-45% in. I did not really like Robin at first and the whole idea of the prank war between them was less pranky, and more actually cruel. Also, Robin just not taking responsibility for anything at first irked me. I do also wish we found out wh......more

Goodreads review by Juniper on May 02, 2025

I just don’t knooooow if I want to rate this 4 or 5 stars. Either way I am rounding, but neither feel quite right. This was a great book. There writing was awesome, and the characters were wonderful. There was background, and depth, and character arcs galore. Characters felt like real people. There......more

Goodreads review by Elnora on March 08, 2025

I don’t normally write book reviews, but seeing as I read an advance copy, I feel compelled to share something brief. As an elder millennial queer woman who’s never lived in or spent much time in the South, it was refreshing to know that there are safe havens with open minded communities like Eureka......more


Quotes

The Bear meets the small-town sparkle of Gilmore Girls in this charming sapphic second-chance romance. You’ll be dying for a stay at the Hummingbird Inn just as much as you’ll be begging these two tangled-up lesbian lovebirds to sort out their differences and kiss already. Bed and Breakup is a sexy and sensory story about discovering the sweetest things in life are worth salvaging.”—Andie Burke, author of Fly With Me

“Cozy small-town charm and deeply honest characters make Bed and Breakup a delight! Susie Dumond writes with vulnerability and heart. Equal parts trope favorites and self-reflection and growth, I loved following Robins and Molly’s journey to their happily ever after!”—Courtney Kae, author of In the Event of Love

Bed and Breakup is a banter-filled charmer about the resiliency of true love and the power of queer community in unexpected places. Second-chance romance lovers will be dazzled by Molly and Robin’s reunion over repairing walls and tearing down their own.”—Timothy Janovsky, USA Today bestselling author of The Merriest Misters

“Dumond’s breezy latest (after Looking for a Sign) is just as fun and astrologically influenced as fans will expect. . . . The romance is sweet and the setting is endearing. Lovers of small-town lesbian romance are sure to be entertained.”—Publishers Weekly
