The highly anticipated sequel to My Life with the Walter Boys, the internationally bestselling novel that inspired the Netflix series! Jackie Howard returns to the boy who has her heart, the family she loves, and the choice she must make.

Jackie Howard returns to the Walter ranch after a summer in New York. She needed space—and got it. But she doesn't know where things stand with her and Cole Walter after that goodbye kiss. Over the summer, she stopped texting him. She never stopped thinking about him.

Still, with Cole living off in town to work at Tony's garage before he heads off to college in a few weeks, Jackie thinks it'll be easy to avoid him—only to find that when she sees him face to face at last, it's, well... impossible to resist him. But things get complicated once Cole decides he'll take a gap year and move back home—under the same roof as Jackie. He's the boy she can't get off her mind, and the Walters have become the family she loves and needs. If things don't work out with Cole, she stands to lose everyone else, too. How can Jackie move forward when she's afraid of taking the next step?
