Her best friend Avery is traveling the world, her possibly ex-friend Tania is icing her out, and her party planning business is at an all-time plateau. But the minute Sophie decides to do something for herself? The past comes knocking. Will never quite got over the flirty blonde who definitely ogled him at the club…ten years ago.
