Ever since cancer stole away her best friend, she has been completely lost. She's avoiding her concerned parents, the apartment she shared with her best friend, and the ever-laminated \"live again\" list of things she's promised to do to survive her grief. But maybe if she acts like she has it all together, no one will notice she's falling apart. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe only gigs she can handle right now are temporary babysitting jobs, and she just landed a great one, helping overworked, single mom Reese and her precocious daughter, Ainsley. The only catch: Ainsley's uncle, Miles, always seems to be around, and is kind of. . . a walking version of the grumpy cat meme. Worse - he seems to be able to see right through her. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSurprisingly, Miles knows a lot about grief and he offers Lenny a proposition. He'll help her complete everything on her \"live again\" list if she'll help him connect with Ainsley and overcome his complicated relationship with Reese. Lenny doubts anything can fill the void her best friend has left behind, but between late night ferry rides, midnight ramen, and a well-placed shoulder whenever she needs it, Miles just won't stop showing up for her. Turns out, sometimes your life has to end to find your new beginning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cara Bastone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dial Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/04\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.97h x 5.30w x 0.92d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780593595732\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2024 pg. 75\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/15\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2025 pg. 37\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCara Bastone\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eReady or Not\u003c\/i\u003e. She lives and writes in Brooklyn with her husband, sons, and an almost-goldendoodle. Her goal with her work is to find the swoon in ordinary love stories. She's been a fan of the romance genre since she found a grocery bag filled with her grandmother's old Harlequin Romances when she was in high school. She's a fangirl for pretzel sticks, long walks through Prospect Park, and love stories featuring men who aren't hobbled by their own masculinity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dial Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45279241699481,"sku":"9780593595732","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/3367\/0297\/files\/img_e45519fe-17e6-4ded-b617-d2400ba7025a.jpg?v=1743973843","url":"https:\/\/bookmarksretail.store\/products\/promise-me-sunshine-9780593595732","provider":"Bookmarks Retail","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
