She thought she had life figured out—until love rewrote the script.

At 37, Abby insists she doesn’t need a romance of her own. She’s the cool aunt, the witty best friend, the self-sufficient Brooklyn single woman with a flexible writing career. But when her sister Laura decides to reconcile with her unreliable musician ex—taking Abby’s beloved niece along—Abby discovers that her life is emptier than she imagined.

Determined not to trail after her sister, Abby escapes to St. John’s, Newfoundland, planning a short trip abroad while she waits for her sister’s relationship to implode. But her careful plan goes sideways when she meets Paul, a teacher with a passion for improv comedy.

Paul is charming, thoughtful, and unexpectedly funny, and he draws Abby into a world of laughter and possibility that she didn’t know she was missing. Yet Paul’s own history of heartbreak makes him wary of falling for someone who might leave at any moment.

Now Abby must decide: can she embrace the first rule of improv—say yes, and see where she lands—or will fear keep her from making the greatest leap of all?
