Synopsis

Hairstylist Jess Greene has spent the last decade raising her younger half-sister, Tegan—and keeping a shocking secret. Ever since their reckless mother ran off with a boyfriend, Jess has been aware that he's the same accomplished con man who was the subject of a wildly popular podcast, The Last Con of Lynton Baltimore.

Now thirty-one, Jess didn't bargain on Tegan eventually piecing together the connection for herself. But Tegan plans to do exactly what Jess has always feared—leave their safe, stable home to search for their mother—and she'll be accompanied by the prying podcast host and her watchful, handsome producer, Adam Hawkins. Unwilling to let the sister she's spent so much of her life protecting go it alone, Jess reluctantly joins them.

Together, the four make their way across the country, unraveling the mystery of where the couple disappeared to and why. But soon Jess is discovering other things too. Like a renewed sense of vulnerability and curiosity, and a willingness to expand beyond the walls she's so carefully built. And in Adam, she finds an unexpected connection she didn't even know was missing, if only she can let go and let him in . . .

Contains mature themes.

Goodreads review by Dab on March 29, 2024

This book was more than your usual romance novel. The focus was on the journey of self-discovery and trauma-processing. There was also a road trip to take and a mystery to solve. It sounds like a lot but the themes were interwoven in a perfect way. The topic was not easy but the author approached it......more

This was a heavier romance book than I usually read but I still enjoyed it. There were a lot of weighted mental health issues in this one, which sort of lead me to slow down in my reading, so this took a little longer than usual but I enjoyed experiencing the journey of all the different characters.......more

I've made this joke before but I don't know how to describe it - ✨ and the ironic thing is that Kate would ✨ - but her books sneak up on me in the most delicious way. The prose makes me achey and her characters are complex, but I love being in their heads every single time. They never fail to burrow......more
