Book description
The bed is still warm when Elle walks in. Adam Wheeler's scent hangs in the air-expensive soap, something sharp, like he's still there. Not that she wanted him there. Not that she wanted anyone there, not after Lovie's Alzheimer's stole the woman who raised her. But Lovie's whispering it now, eyes wide with desperate certainty: "You and Adam. You're so happy."
And Elle? She's lying. Again.
This fake dating scheme started as a joke, a way to keep Lovie calm. One night. One stupid, ridiculous night. Adam's the gruff nurse who's seen it all, who calls Elle "sweetheart" like it's a dare. They play along-holding hands at dinner, sharing a coffee, Adam's hand lingering too long on her wrist. The air crackles. Elle's heart races because it's fake. Because she knows it's all a lie.
But Lovie's wrong. She isn't the one who forgets.
Adam's not just playing along. He's listening. To the way Elle's voice cracks when she talks about Lovie's forgotten birthday. To the way she laughs when he does something stupid, really stupid, like trying to cook scrambled eggs. He sees the exhaustion under her eyes, the fear that Lovie might not remember her next time. And he doesn't push her away when she leans into him, just for a second, because the weight of it all is crushing.
The audiobook? It's a punch to the chest. You hear the tremor in Elle's voice when she says, "I don't know how to do this," and the way Adam's low, rough reply-"Then let me help you"-makes you want to grab the headphones and just listen. The narrator nails every beat: the sharpness of their arguments, the quiet, devastating moments when they're both too tired to lie anymore. You hear the real thing beneath the fake-Adam's quiet protectiveness, Elle's slow, terrified thaw.
And Lovie? She's the knife twist. The one who wants them to be real. When she says, "They're happy," it's not a delusion. It's a truth she's clinging to, a lifeline in the fog. The worst part? Elle starts believing it too. She catches herself wanting Adam's laugh, his hand on her back, the way he sees her. Not the girl who needs saving, but the woman who's been holding it together for years.
This isn't just a romance. It's the sound of two people realizing, in the middle of chaos, that they might actually be home. The kind of love that starts with a lie but feels like the only truth left. And when the audiobook ends, you're left with one question: What if Lovie's right? And that's the real heartbreak. Not the fake, but the terrifying, beautiful possibility that the truth might be the only thing they've ever needed.
