When Maya Maas decides to surprise her boyfriend by coming to California where he's on a business trip, the last thing she expects is a text from a complete stranger answering his phone. And then finding out that her boyfriend is cheating on her. The stranger then suggests a visit to nearby Carmel-by-the-sea to help console her and celebrate her birthday. He gives her an idyllic day, guiding her by text to the best attractions. When, at the end of the day, they agree to meet, the stranger (or Max as she calls him) never shows. But her boyfriend does and convinces her he never cheated. Almost a year later, Maya still can't seem to forget Max and her perfect day in California. When a romance book about to be published describes that day in detail, Maya travels back to California, desperate to find out from the author the true identity of Max.
This story was heartwarming and sweet. For Max to give a perfect stranger such a wonderful birthday after giving her devastating news was really sweet. This small vacation town sounds like such a wonderful place to visit and fall in love! Although the ending was predictable from the start, I still really enjoyed this book.
I received an advance reader copy of this book through NetGalley. The views and opinions expressed in this review are completely my own and given voluntarily.
