Her work has also been published in Latina\, BuzzFeed\, and the Hartford Courant. She lives in western Massachusetts with her husband\, daughter\, and dog.

And Carmello\, whose mother owned the restaurant\, couldn’t leave Celia’s Place behind any more than he could force Olivia to stay. \nNow\, ten years later\, Olivia is a successful personal chef. Her job allows her to travel the world\, and she has never stayed in the same place for too long. When Carmello learns that his mother left shares of her beloved restaurant to both him and Olivia\, he plans to buy her portion of the shares back quickly and painlessly. \nThat is until Olivia shows up at the restaurant\, ready to help run it. Carmello sees an opportunity: drive Olivia away from his restaurant so that she will want to sign over her shares. But Olivia sees things a bit differently. She finally has the chance to stay in one place and build a home after years on the move\, and perhaps now is the right time to explore whether that home can be with the one who got away. \nSoon enough\, sparks begin to fly\, but can Olivia and Carmello avoid the mistakes of the past? \nAbout Riss M. Neilson:  \nRiss M. Neilson is a magna cum laude graduate of Rhode Island College\, where she won the English department’s Jean Garrigue Award for creative writing. Her debut young adult novel\, Deep in Providence\, was a 2022 finalist for the New England Book Awards.

As memories from those idyllic summers flood back\, Grace encounters another old friend Étienne\, who proposes a plan to make Jackson jealous.

Once a diehard fan of the band as a teen\, her tastes have matured\, and she feels out of place amid the sea of bedazzled\, air-brushed t-shirts bearing the singers’ faces. Yet when the lights come up and the idols of her youth begin to sing before her\, something is unlocked. “Maybe that was nostalgia after all\, the music a direct vein to her childhood\, the least complicated part of her life. A short cut to happiness.” Between the slushy alcoholic drinks\, the music of her youth\, and the thousands of middle-aged women acting like lovesick teenagers\, Annie finally reconnects to a long-submerged part of herself. By the time she befriends one of the band members — not just a celebrity but someone also in need of a friend — she feels like anything is possible. But a lot can go wrong on a ship ruled by hormones and hope\, frustration and fantasy. \nAbout the Author: \nEmma Straub is the New York Times bestselling author of six books for adults: the novels This Time Tomorrow\, All Adults Here\, The Vacationers\, Modern Lovers\, Laura Lamont’s Life in Pictures\, and the short story collection Other People We Married.
