Synopsis
Three years ago, Jonah Kelly wrote a bestselling love story. The problem is, she might have been thinking about someone from her past when she wrote it...
Now, Jonah's in a rut-living in New York but avoiding all the publishing parties and feeling uninspired to write her next book. When her best friend Kenny invites her to move to San Francisco for a fresh start, Jonah decides to take him up on his offer.
At first, it seems like Jonah's fresh start is taking nicely: a new city, a new love interest, words finally filling the page, and her best friend at her side. But when a big-time magazine wants to do a feature on her, Jonah's history comes crashing onto her doorstep. The reporter they send to interview her is none other than Jake, a ghost from her past.
Jonah is panicked: Jake must recognize their story, and know that he's the guy in the book-right? As part of the interview, Jonah must spend three days visiting the most romantic spots in San Francisco and being flooded by memories of a long-ago summer. Will Jake find out he is the inspiration for her great love story, and what does that mean for the future if he does?
