Why we’re excited
Elizabeth is the one her father, her disabled sister and her closest friend all count on, and nobody looks after her in return. Mike Maddox, a coworker she cannot stand, is making up for mistakes that cost him a friendship, and he has quietly liked her for years. His small, steady kindnesses force her to choose between trusting him and trusting everyone who warns her off.
Abby Jimenez, author of Part of Your World and Just for the Summer, mixes banter with heavy family stakes. This slow burn should please readers who like redemption arcs.

From the publisher
She’s spent her life taking care of everyone else. He’s determined to be the one to take care of her.
Elizabeth is sick of always having to be the reliable one―for her dad, for her disabled sister, for her best friend. Just once, she’d love to be able to lean on someone else, to do something for herself instead of worrying about everyone else.
Mike Maddox has a lot of amends to make. His past has cost him his best friend, and now his job could be on the line. His coworker Elizabeth can't stand him, and he doesn't even blame her. But Mike has always had a thing for Elizabeth. And if he can convince her he’s changed, maybe there’s hope. Showing up for her is easy. Doing things for her sister, remembering the special occasions everyone around her forgets. Gaining Elizabeth's trust heals something in him he didn't think could be fixed.
Bit by bit, day by day, Elizabeth begins to realize that maybe there’s more to Mike than she thought possible. Falling for him is the easy part, but trusting herself when everyone else says she’s wrong might be the hardest thing she's ever done.
