Perfect for fans of Emily Giffin and Jennifer Weiner, this bright, funny debut from a fresh voice in fiction offers a delicious take on love, family, and what it means to build a home of ones own. Sarina Mahler thinks she has her life all nailed down: a growing architecture practice in Austin, Texas, and an any-day-now proposal from her loving boyfriend, Noah. Shes well on her way to having the family shes hoped for since her mothers death ten years ago. But with Noah on a temporary assignment abroad and retired Olympic swimmer--and former flame--Eamon Roy back in town asking her to renovate his new fixer-upper, Sarinas life takes an unexpected turn. Eamon proves to be Sarinas dream client, someone who instinctively trusts every one of her choices--and Sarina is reminded of all the reasons she was first drawn to him back in the day. Suddenly her carefully planned future with Noah seems a little less than perfect. And when tragedy strikes, Sarina is left reeling.
