The Do-Over

A witty, romantic comedy of errors as former high school rivals McKenna and Henry inadvertently reunite in their hometown. Hot-shot lawyer McKenna Keaton finds herself in hot water with her own law firm when she´s (falsely!) accused of embezzlement. Placed on unpaid leave, she suddenly finds herself with the free time to return home and attend her youngest sister´s wedding activities. But it´s not all fun and games. Waiting back home is shy, nerdy Henry Blumenthal—McKenna´s high school rival for valedictorian who once took three hours to beat her at chess. Scratch that. He´s Hank Blume now, the famed documentarian, Durham, North Carolina´s, darling son, who has attained all his dreams and more. He also happens to look like he stepped out of an Eddie Bauer catalog. Whereas McKenna is a disgraced workaholic from New York on unpaid leave, accused of a white-collar crime she would never commit, succumbing to panic attacks, watching her dreams unravel. At age thirty-eight—and destined by the family curse to die before she turns forty, apparently—it´s absolutely the wrong time to have a major crush on a man. Especially one who treasures his memories of McKenna as the girl Most Likely to Succeed. "Pitch-perfect comedic timing, a relatable heroine, and a refreshing sweetness elevate this novel above the sea of modern rom-coms. The rare author who can make me laugh out loud, The Do-Over is Bethany Turner at her best." —Lauren Layne, New York Times bestselling authorA witty and sweet contemporary romantic comedy More to love from Bethany Turner: Plot Twist.
