Frankie and George have been best friends since they were eight years old. Both passionate, impulsive, and headstrong—they’ve always clashed… and come back together. Until now. It’s the eve of Frankie’s wedding weekend, and she doesn’t know where they stand or even if George will show up as her best man.
Then, at the start of the festivities, in walks George. For one glorious evening, surrounded by her loved ones, Frankie’s life is finally perfect. But it all comes crashing down when her fiancé dumps her the next morning, leaving only a note as an explanation. Crushed and confused, Frankie returns to her family’s home to wallow. But George has a different idea and a plan for healing Frankie’s broken heart. He wants her to go on her honeymoon. With him.
Our Perfect Storm will be available from Penguin Random House Canada on May 5. Tickets for this event will be released this spring (date TBA). Subscribe to our mailing list so you don’t miss the announcement!
