In Can't Look Away, Carola Lovering "delivers another winner...a propulsive page-turner about young love and second chances. You won't be able to put this down." --Laura Dave, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Last Thing He Told Me
"Fans of Gillian Flynn and Paula Hawkins will enjoy this one." --Publishers Weekly It is 2013, and twenty-three-year-old Brooklyn barista Molly Diamond has just locked eyes with Jake Danner, the front man of an up-and-coming Southern rock band. It's not long before Molly and Jake fall deeply in love, inspiring each other's writing and planning for a life together filled with creativity, passion, and adventure.
But nearly a decade later, Molly is teaching yoga and living in a posh Connecticut suburb with her young daughter and husband, Hunter--who is decidedly not Jake Danner. Molly is lonely in picture-perfect Flynn Cove--until Sabrina walks into her studio. A newcomer in town, Sabrina has her own reasons for seeking out Molly, and their blossoming friendship will set both women on a collision course of deep-rooted secrets, lies, and manipulation.
Meanwhile, a new version of Jake's hit song is on the radio, forcing Molly to confront her past and ask the ultimate questions: What happens when life turns out nothing like we thought it would, when we were young and dreaming big? Does growing up mean choosing with your head, rather than your heart? And do we ever truly get over our first love?
