Missy Lawrence and her best buds are right back at it in book two--exploring the hardest parts of life and leaning on each other heavily to get through the day by day difficulties. Benson and Jack find new versions of themselves to embrace on the west coast and back in Charlotte, NC, the gal pals are revving up for Adair's wedding.

All summer long, while flitting between her job, her friends, and her social life, Missy can't help but take Nathan's phone calls. She misses him, tremendously, and is glad they have this lasting friendship. It's always so good to hear his voice. When she tells him Adair's getting married, he offers to be her date and she is filled with pleasure. But nothing in this world is ever so easy as it seems and before Nathan arrives in town, Missy has to reason through what she wants and if Nate's the man to give it to her. Is she hoping to get married someday? Does she want to be Nathan's wife? Or is she just wasting her time...and his...by holding onto this impossible dream?
