A brand new standalone from Friendship, Texas featuring everyone's favorite awkward baker and the one that got away.
I looked up and standing there was my ex-boyfriend, Jordan Webber. Maybe ex-boyfriend wasn't the right word. Maybe the boy who I dated for almost two years. Then he graduated early, leaving for art school in New York. He wanted me to come with him, but what future did I have in New York? My parents weren’t paying for me to go to school unless it was a state school with a real degree and all I ever wanted was to do photography. So the portrait studio worked for the time being until I realized I really needed to get out of the house and took the part-time job at the bakery. Between my parents’ divorce, work, and trying to get over my break up, I was basically a hot mess the first two years after high school. Joey came in at the right time as a distraction then the job at the bakery. But I still never forgot about the one that got away.
I hadn't seen Jordan in over four years and there he was, standing there with a hand on one of the boxes and his blue eyes wide open like he'd just seen a ghost.
"Abbey Dillinger?" he asked, it wasn't so much of a question as it was a breathless statement.
I hated him for leaving me. He could have gone to art school in Dallas. He could have stayed if he really did love me. I should have hated him. But seeing him, standing in front of me, I couldn’t hate him. The past four years had been very good to him.
**This book is a standalone in a series of standalones taking place in the fictional town of Friendship, Texas. You don't need to read any of the previous books to understand this one***
Review
Rating: 4.5*
When Jordan left Friendship to follow his dream in New York, he left Abbey behind. Now he is back in town and determined to win her back.
Abbey's life hasn't set the world on fire. She has been trundling along doing the same thing and not following her dreams. With Jordan back in her life she rediscovers her passion and that those around her don't have her best interests at heart. Some of those in Friendship have forgotten the meaning of friendship.
There was a complex mix of relationships that needed to be unraveled by Abbey before she can move forward. With a light heartedness to this read, it ticked all the boxes for me.
