Love, Me
"If your January is January-ing, this book might be the perfect pick-me-up. It follows Rachel Miller — a married, successful lawyer, a mother of two…and the ex-girlfriend of major movie star Jack Bellow. When old photos and love letters from Rachel and Jack’s time together are leaked to the press, her life is turned upside down. And when the fallout leads to the two reconnecting, Rachel has to reckon with her true feelings about her marriage, her memories of their romance, and what she really wants her future to look like. We are so in."
