“Things don’t have to be malicious to do harm.”
Taylor

Moving home from New York City after her wife of 8 years left her for another woman, Julia Pierce had no choice but to take on a job at her family’s winery. She had also missed out on dating life since nineteen, so going casual to make up for the lost time sounded like a good idea. When Taylor Winslow, who had an ongoing crush on her for years unbeknownst to Julia, volunteered to friend-zone herself as a wingman, neither knew this friendship would take on a deeper meaning.

To the Moon and Back by Melissa Brayden

- My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5)
To the Moon and Back is the 7th Melissa Brayden novel I have read, and it quickly became one of my favourites. The relationship between stage manager Lauren Prescott and fallen movie star Carly Daniel was sweet, intense, and ultimately mature. I rooted for them throughout the story, and my heart ached for them as they worked out issues. There were plenty of plot twists, and while none were very unexpected, all worked perfectly for the story. The pacing was precise, and not once had anything felt rushed.
