What is wrong meets what feels right in this romance set in Italy by the New York Times bestselling author of Deep End.
Maya Killgore is twenty-three and still in the process of figuring out her life.
Conor Harkness is thirty-eight, and Maya cannot stop thinking about him.
It’s such a cliché, it almost makes her heart implode: older man and younger woman; successful biotech guy and struggling grad student; brother’s best friend and the girl he never even knew existed. As Conor loves to remind her, the power dynamic is too imbalanced. Any relationship between them would be problematic in too many ways to count, and Maya should just get over him. After all, he has made it clear that he wants her gone from his life.
But not everything is as it seems—and clichés sometimes become plot twists.
When Maya’s brother decides to get married in Taormina, she and Conor end up stuck together in a romantic Sicilian villa for over a week. There, on the beautiful Ionian coast, between ancient ruins, delicious foods, and natural caves, Maya realizes that Conor might be hiding something from her. And as the destination wedding begins to erupt out of control, she decides that a summer fling might be just what she needs—even if it’s a problematic one.

My Review: 5/5 Stars
Maya has been in love with Conor for three years now. But things are…complicated. One, he is her brother’s best friend. And two, he is about 15 years older than her. All of which she is fine with. She is an adult who knows what she wants and what she wants is Conor. The man who became her best friend and was there when she needed someone most. But Conor is well Conor. He is stuck in his head and age thing is really getting to him and he is overall convinced that they can’t be together. Now Maya is on her way to her brother’s wedding in Italy and she is about to see and speak to Conor for the first time in ten months. But things are about to change for them. Because Maya is starting to realize something. And it’s time to find out once and for all if there is hope for their future. I loved coming back to these characters! If you haven’t read Not in Love, definitely do so before this book! Because one, spoilers but also two, you just will appreciate and understand everyone a lot more. I really loved getting to know Maya and Conor. These two are clearly so right for one another. Brining out the best and balancing one another out. And while Maya can acknowledge her feelings, Conor is just so convinced that Maya should be with someone her own age and someone who isn’t as messed up as him. But like Maya says, age is just a number. I loved learning about their history and seeing them finally getting their happy ending. A fun story overall! I laughed a lot with this group. You definitely don’t want to miss this story!
