Sometimes love shows up in the most unexpected mess.
After years of disastrous dates, Mimi Perkins is ready for her happy ending. So when kind, devoted Ren Yardley proposes, she’s convinced her psychic’s prediction of “good news” has finally come true. But life has other plans.
When Ren’s ex-wife is badly injured in a car accident, he moves back in to care for her and their daughters—taking Mimi and all her hopes along with him. In a new town, she finds friendship, purpose, and the courage to ask what love really means when nothing goes the way it should.
Maddie Dawson’s Let’s Pretend This Will Work is a tender, funny, and bighearted novel about change, self-discovery, and the winding road to happiness.
