I thought I had life figured out-until everything started to slip through my fingers. My brother's getting engaged, my parents are subtly (or not so subtly) reminding me I'm still stuck in my childhood bedroom, and my once-bright dreams of becoming a novelist are gathering dust on a shelf. Enter Ryan, the bartender with a wicked grin and an unexpected way of seeing through my carefully constructed walls. He's got his own tangled story-former rockstar dreams now poured into cocktails and half-finished songs-but somehow, he's made me believe in possibilities again. The thing is, just when I think we're writing the perfect new chapter, someone from his past walks in and turns everything upside down. Now I'm standing at the edge, trying to figure out how to keep from falling, or maybe, if I'm brave enough, how to let myself fall completely. Can I risk it all for a chance at something real, or will I stay lost in the echoes of what could have been?
