"In this splendidly bittersweet debut romantic comedy, enemies forced together by a mutual loss are led on a cross-country journey toward a second chance. Maddie Sanderson would be proud to honor her older brother's dying wish, that she scatters his ashes over eight destinations that the adventurous 29-year-old never got to visit before he died from cancer. But in his will, Josh assigned her an impossible partner to help complete the mission-Dominic Perry. Seriously, if Maddie weren't already at his funeral, she would have killed him for this. Sure, Dom was Josh's life-long best friend. He's also the infuriating man who broke Maddie's heart back when she was naïve enough to give it to him. But since Dom insists on following the rules and Josh didn't leave much room for Maddie to argue the matter, they embark together on a farewell trip that spans thousands of miles, exploring new places and revisiting their complicated history along the way. After a snowstorm leads to a shared bed, Maddie starts to wonder if her brother might be matchmaking from the grave. But when grief also reopens old wounds between them, Maddie might need more than Josh's ghostly guidance to trust Dom again"-- Provided by publisher.
