Big Sexy Love

A young woman must leave small-town life for New York City to fulfill her dying best friend’s final wish...from the USA Today bestselling author of The Love of My Afterlife.

Olive Brewster is not a risk taker. Her life is just fine, thank you very much. Her job at the super market? Fine. No boyfriend? Fine! Still living in her childhood home? Perfectly fine. What's not fine, is that her very best friend in the world, Birdie, is dying.

Birdie has a wish. She wants to track down her first love, Chuck, and give him one last letter. Of course, Olive is going to make that happen for her. The problem? Chuck is in New York City and Olive...has never left home.

Braving the streets of Manhattan for the elusive ex-love of her dearest friend is risky enough but being joined by Seth, a cute and cocky comedy writer who somehow thinks she’s the joke? That's a whole other problem.

Because falling in love is not part of a safe routine and Olive will have to find out if a little risk is worth the big feelings that come with it.
