About this item

"Barrett writes with tremendous care for anyone who has ever felt lonely." - Rosie Danan, author of The Roommate. Jesse Logan doesn't want a fresh start. He wants his old life back - before an injury made his career as a firefighter impossible, before his grandfather's Alzheimer's got so bad he doesn't recognize Jesse anymore. When a friend tells him about a paid psychological study, Jesse sees it as a chance to get back to the man he was while making a little extra cash.. All Lulu Banks is asking for is a fresh start. Back home after a devastating breakup, she's struggling to find her place. She's always been a lot - too loud, too eager, too obvious about her feelings. The friendship study seems like a great idea ... until she's paired with Jesse Logan, who recently ghosted her after a blind date that led to a steamy make-out session.
