Celeste Dawson is drowning in a house full of things that don't belong to her-heirlooms, junk, secrets, and emotional clutter you can't just drop off at a donation center... without triggering a ghostly council meeting of ancestors. When she quietly switches jobs, it feels like the first step toward reclaiming her life. The only problem? She "forgot" to tell Owen Becker, her closest friend at work... until she's already halfway out the door.

Owen doesn't get it. He doesn't get why she's leaving. He doesn't get why it feels like a personal crisis. And he definitely doesn't get that he's in love with her. He just assumes he's stressed. Or tired. Or maybe developing an allergy to feelings.

But as Celeste tries to dig herself out of a house that's swallowing her whole, and Owen tries to dig himself out of debt and denial, they both start to realize that some messes aren't meant to be tackled alone.

"A witty, compelling tale that will have you yelling, 'Just kiss already!' Wamsley never misses with her heartfelt, humorous, and endearing stories about life, relationships, and learning to move past the obstacles holding us back."
