Sisters Jess and Ivy have always shared everything-childhood memories, a flat, a love of romcoms. As different as they are, together they're the perfect balance, with Jess's calm elegance complementing Ivy's spirit and thirst for adventure.
But there is one thing-one person-they can't share: Ivy's friend, Finn. And when Jess falls for him, the betrayal cuts deep, forming a chasm between the two sisters that widens with every passing day...
Years after that fateful falling-out, Jess receives a call that changes everything and throws her on a journey following in her wilder sister's footsteps, to discover what happened to Ivy. But is it ever too late to say you're sorry?

This is a new author for me. I chose to read this book because of the blurb. It sounded like something different than what I'd usually read and outside my comfort zone. I really enjoyed this. I liked the way the author explored the relationship between Jess and Ivy and how it falls apart so easily and how they both struggle to find their way back to each other. The author cleverly uses time shifts to explore the different directions both of their lives take in the subsequent years as they drift further apart and a reunion seems impossible. This packs an emotional punch.
