When Charlotte and Philip meet, the pair form a deep and instant connection. Soon they’re settled in the Florida Keys with plans to marry. But just as they should be getting closer, Charlotte feels Philip slipping away.
Second-guessing their love is something Charlotte never imagined, but with Philip’s excessive absences, she finds herself yearning for more. When she meets Ben, she ignores the pull, but the supportive single dad is there for her in ways she never knew she desired. Soon Charlotte finds herself torn between the love she thought she wanted and the one she knows she needs.
As a hurricane passes through Islamorada, stunning revelations challenge Charlotte’s loyalties and upend her life. Forced to reexamine the choices she’s made, and has yet to make, Charlotte embarks on an emotional journey of friendship, love, and sacrifice—knowing that forgiveness is a gift, and the best-laid plans can change in a heartbeat.
What is a favorite compliment you have received on your writing?
I aim for authenticity and relatability in my work so when a reader writes to tell me how the novel spoke to them and how they felt a wide range of emotions (and tears), I feel tremendous gratification.
What were the biggest rewards and challenges with writing This is Not How It Ends?
This Is Not How It Ends was originally rejected before I went through some pretty extensive revisions. The reward: seeing readers fall in love with the story.
If This is Not How It Ends were made into a movie, who would play the lead characters?
A bookstagrammer (@marisagbooks) nailed it! Blake Lively (Charlotte), Adrian Grenier (Ben), and Jude Law (Philip).
Do you make New Year's resolutions? If so, what is one you kept last year?
Honestly, I have rarely made specific resolutions, but I do try to be a better person, writer, mother, friend, etc. with each passing year. That said, this year I have the same goals plus one new one courtesy of Collen Hoover (Regretting You). "Sometimes you have to walk away from a fight in order to win it." I hope to be better at this in 2020.
If you could go back in time ten years, what would you tell the version of yourself from that time?
Writer: Keep going. Keep writing. You've got this. Never give up.
Mother: Breathe. Take it all in. This is a fast ride.

Looks very interesting. Love the setting and premise.
I second guess a number of things. From if I should have taken the job, to moving to even purchasing a piece of clothing.
I hear such good things about this book and have really been wanting to read it. Thank you so much for the chance.
I deliberate beforehand so I rarely second guess anything.
I second guessed going from PT to FT a few years ago, which turned out to be a mistake which I had to rectify.
I second guessed moving back to Michigan after my divorce.
My judgment in the romance department. Never been lucky in love.
I second guess something I have said. Better to think twice before I open my mouth.

I second guess alot. One is what company to repair my van.

When I was in college, I often would second-guess whether I should be there or not, but ultimately made the choice to see it through to the end. With a diploma in my hand, standing amongst fellow graduates, all the years of hard work culminated and I was proud to have worked as hard as I did to achieve my degree in spite of all the struggles I faced in the midst of it.

I think things through so much, I don't think I ever second guess things.
