Can we talk? The last time I heard these words, my relationship ended. Though it was mutual, it hasn’t stopped me from spending countless sleepless nights overthinking all the what-ifs. Inspired by a life coach, I, Eliza Hawkes, realize it’s time to make some changes in my life. I’m ready to face my journey head-on, but just as I take a step forward, my cousin drops a bombshell.

Recovering from the shocking news will be hard, but thankfully there’s a distraction in the chaos. My best friend and perpetual bachelor, Mason, begs me to attend a quick weekend getaway to New York City, all at his company’s expense. The only thing we need to do is pretend to be in a relationship. This should be easy, considering Mason’s been my ride-or-die for years. What I don’t plan for is the weekend to take such an unexpected turn, leaving me shaken to my core. The effects of which could have a lasting impact. It’s time for Mason and me to have a very important talk. But am I ready to take this leap of faith and risk losing the most important thing in my life, or would it be better if everything stayed the same?
