A woman struggling with burnout learns to embrace the unexpected—and the man she enlists to help her—in this new New York Times bestselling romance by Helen Hoang. When violinist Anna Sun accidentally achieves career success with a viral YouTube video, she finds herself incapacitated and burned out from her attempts to replicate that moment. And when her longtime boyfriend announces he wants an open relationship before making a final commitment, a hurt and angry Anna decides that if he wants an open relationship, then she does, too. Translation: She's going to embark on a string of one-night stands. The more unacceptable the men, the better. That’s where tattooed, motorcycle-riding Quan Diep comes in. Their first attempt at a one-night stand fails, as does their second, and their third, because being with Quan is more than sex—he accepts Anna on an unconditional level that she herself has just started to understand. However, when tragedy strikes Anna’s family she takes on a role that she is ill-suited for, until the burden of expectations threatens to destroy her. Anna and Quan have to fight for their chance at love, but to do that, they also have to fight for themselves.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The Romanovs traveled from Tobolsk to Tyumen, and then to Omsk, the junction of two major lines on the Trans-Siberian Railway. They were suddenly gripped by fear. Where would they be taken next. Eastwards towards Vladivostok or west towards Moscow and a public trial. #2 The Tsar and his family were now received into the hands of the Ural Regional Soviet for detention under surveillance. With a bureaucratic flourish, Beloborodov signed the official receipt for them. #3 The family was reunited, and they were certain that God would take a hand in their fate. They turned to their intense religious faith to sustain them through the days to come. #4 The Ipatiev House was the prison where the Tsar and his family were kept. It was small by the standards of the more spacious and airy Governor’s House in Tobolsk, but it had a fine view of the lake, public gardens, and city below.
