About the book
Ashley Jordan's debut novel follows Eve Ambroise, a playwright on the rise whose personal life is falling apart and whose writing has stalled. Seeking a fresh start, she ends her engagement, cuts off her parents and heads for the Tennessee mountains, claiming to be on a writing retreat, a story that is hard to keep up among well-meaning locals. Next door is Jamie Gallagher, a single father fresh from a bitter custody battle who has been spending more time at his cabin. It was a Reese's Book Club pick.
Reese Witherspoon chose it as her book club pick for August 2025, saying she read it in one sitting and that it feels like talking with a close friend.
