Freelance writer Sora Reid believes in inertia. She' s the odd one out in a family of go-getters, including her Japanese-American mom, who hints about losing weight, and her almost-married sister, who needs her to get a date for the wedding-dancing with their Scottish Great Uncle Bob won' t do. For Sora, minimal input, minimal expectations is a way of life. The one thing that disrupts her inertia: an intense dislike for Valentine' s Day. What is it with the commercial love machine? Why do we get our hopes up, when staying home with a package of bacon and bottle of tequila is better? Sora' s been betrayed before, and her heart feels like Grandma Mitsuye' s antique Japanese ceramic bowl with its gold-filled cracks. When her pledge to stay single inspires readers to #gosolo, Sora wants to empower her followers. It shouldn' t be that hard, right? Enter Jack Mann, a muscle-bound baker who Sora hasn' t thought of since elementary school. When a run-in at the grocery store leads to instant attraction, Sora knows she has to shut it down. She can' t #gosolo AND get the guy. She can' t let down her readers. And relationships always end, so why should Jack be different-even though he' s confounding her expectations of love?
CARA TANAMACHI lives near Chicago with her husband and five children (two by biology and three by marriage), and their 85-pound Goldendoodle, Theodore. Raised near Dallas, Texas by her Japanese-American dad and her English-Scottish American mom, she was the oldest of two children (the debate still rages whether she or her brother are currently the family favorite). The University of Pennsylvania grad worked as a newspaper reporter, and then published many novels under the name, Cara Lockwood.
