Maddie always harbored a secret crush on her big brother’s best friend, Dominic. One summer, her wildest dreams were fulfilled when they finally hooked up. However, Dominic shattered Maddie’s heart the very next day by proposing to his on-again, off-again girlfriend. Devastated, Maddie moved across the country to start her life anew. Now, many years later, at her brother’s funeral, she discovers that he had a dying wish—for her to travel to seven U.S. states to spread his ashes with Dominic, who’s now divorced and is the very last person Maddie wants to see again. Reluctantly, Maddie agrees to embark on the journey with Dominic. As they go on these uniquely curated road trips together, they slowly begin to let down their walls, unravel their past, and ultimately realize that their love never truly faded. This emotional romance delves into difficult topics, including grief and childhood trauma, while also featuring beautiful travel scenes and the joy of found family.
