After a decade of silence, Dee and Ben reunite for a road trip they once promised to take. It' s going to be a bumpy ride. Dee Matthews is the cohost of the smash-hit podcast Did I Forget To Tell You? , where she interviews family, friends, and past lovers. Nothing is off limits, except for one man (known on the show only as Name Redacted) who happens to be her high school best friend Ben. During their senior year spring break, Dee and Ben took a road trip to visit Ben' s grandma. They buried a time capsule in her backyard, pledging to return in ten years to open it. Then their friendship fell apart in spectacular fashion. They haven' t spoken to each other since. Ben Porter' s life since that moment has been unexciting but comfortable, until his grandma reveals a family secret that flips his whole world upside down. Her dying wish is for him to stop doing what is safest and go after what he really wants. He starts by showing up on Dee' s doorstep with every intention of fulfilling their long-ago promise. Despite her reservations, Dee can' t say no. This trip could be her chance to give her listeners the Name Redacted interview they' ve been begging for-and finally put her unresolved feelings for Ben to rest. As the miles fly by, Dee and Ben' s friendship reignites. But the closer they get to reaching their destination, the more apparent it becomes that their attraction to each other cannot be ignored. Their last adventure ended in disaster, and they' re about to find out if any hope of a future together is in the rear view mirror.
"It' s impossible not to fall for Dee and Ben while they fall for each other on the journey of a lifetime, told with heart-wrenching emotional insight, undeniable passion and laugh-out-loud humor on every single page. A Thousand Miles is an instant favorite. "-Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-Broka, authors of The Roughest Draft "An oh-so-sweet romantic comedy that tugs on all the right heartstrings. I adored it. "Kate Spencer, author of In a New York Minute "An endearing and entertaining read, Love Scenes is the romance all lovers of Hollywood need. " Shondaland on Love Scenes "Morrissey' s sarcastically humorous voice shines in her debut contemporary romance and her characters (including Sloane' s big, beautiful family) will absolutely charm the pants off you. " BuzzFeed on Love Scenes "Real, raw, and immensely tender, Love Scenes is a book about second chances: in love, in work, in family. Bridget Morrissey writes with the kind of effortless warmth and complexity that elevates characters to real people you know and love, with quirks and flaws you understand. "-Emily Henry, New York Times bestselling author of Beach Read on Love Scenes "Love Scenes is pure joy from start to finish. With Hollywood antics, a simmering slow-burn romance, and a tremendous amount of humor and heart, this book makes even its most famous characters feel like friends. A love letter to the messy, wild, wonderful families who make us who we are. "-Rachel Lynn Solomon, author ofThe Ex Talk on Love Scenes "Love Scenes is an enemies to lovers story set against a Hollywood backdrop, but it' s so much more than that. It' s the messy love of a complicated blended family. It' s the ugly parts of Hollywood, not just the glitz and glamor. It' s a heroine fighting to be her own person despite what the gossip sites and a songwriting ex-boyfriend says. It' s an earnest, swoonworthy hero doing his best to be a good man, despite his past. Bridget Morrissey has a voice that leaps off the page and invites you to join her for a page-turning good time. Good luck putting this one down!"-Jen DeLuca, author ofWell Played on Love Scenes "A fascinating peek at the on-set lives of movie stars. Nuanced characterization and an endearing ensemble cast make this one a must-read!"-Michelle Hazen, author ofBreathe the Sky on Love Scenes "Morrissey is at her best when she allows Sloane' s musings to shed light on the caprices of the entertainment industry. Even as Sloane' s bond with Joseph develops with charming ease, her evolving relationships with a diverse array of relatives illuminate the many peculiarities inherent to understanding, accepting, and loving family. A compelling and unique riff on the potential of second chances in love. " Kirkus on Love Scenes
