About this ebook
Max has spent years as the nerdy friend to Picnicville’s most popular girl, Mia. He’s always wanted more, but friendship is better than to risk losing her.
So he finally asks her out.
Mia says yes.
There’s just one problem: she doesn’t seem nearly as excited about their dates as Max is. He can’t shake the feeling that she has a reason for giving him a chance—and she’s not telling him what it is.
Of course, Max has secrets of his own.
What Max doesn’t realize is that the girl he’s always thought was out of his league might actually feel the same way.
As autumn takes over Picnicville, the town comes alive with pumpkin patches, corn mazes, and a haunted house.
And as Max and Mia spend more time together, they find themselves getting closer than either expected.
Max finally has a chance with the girl he’s loved for years. But how much is he willing to risk for a chance at something more?
Can two friends finally become lovers, or will the secrets between them cost Max the one person he can’t afford to lose?
A sweet and funny small-town friends-to-lovers romantic comedy filled with autumn charm, secret feelings, and a romance years in the making.
