Maya Maas is not exactly living the dream in the Big Apple. Her hopes of becoming a writer have fallen by the wayside, and she’s now overworked and underpaid as a junior reporter for a small Brooklyn newspaper. Maya has been looking forward to surprising her boyfriend, David, on his San Francisco business trip during her birthday weekend, since things have gotten a little stale between them. When she arrives and calls David’s number, a Lyft driver mistakes her for the blonde who was also in the car. Maya, reeling with this betrayal, is convinced by the driver to experience California for just a day before she heads home to New York, based on his recommendations via text. Is it possible to fall in love with a person you’ve never met?
VERDICT Published as an ebook in 2021 and now available in print, Lara’s (Someday in Paris) novel has convincing characters and a charming, serendipitous plot, but readers will figure out the surprise twist long before it is revealed. An optional purchase.
