Publisher Description

A woman must woo her lover’s soul back into his body to wake him from a coma—or risk losing him forever—in this moving novel from the author of The Hundred Loves of Juliet.

Claire Walker has always had her life in perfect order, including her high-powered job at one of Manhattan’s top corporate law firms. Yet the one thing she cannot seem to find is a perfect love to complete it, until fate pushes Matías de León into her path. Matías is a Spanish artist who is everything that Claire is not: free-spirited and creative, chaos to her order. She falls for him, hard—and he for her.

A year later, however, Claire begins to question everything about their relationship. How can they possibly work long-term when they’re so different? Might it be best to end it before they are both in too deep?

Then tragedy strikes while Matías is visiting family, leaving him gravely wounded in a Madrid hospital. And when Claire drops everything to race to his side, she finds she is the only one who can see and talk to Matías’s soul, detached from his comatose body. But that soul has no memories of his year in New York, of her, or of their relationship. Claire soon realizes that in order to lure Matías back to his body, she will have to convince him to fall in love with her all over again. But can lightning strike twice? Can the same magic that brought them together once do so again?

“What you’ll find: ✨ Magical realism ✨ Multiple POVs ✨ Workaholic lawyer x free-spirited artist ✨ Madrid and New York settings ✨ Art and food discussions Content warnings: 💔 Fatal accident, coma, and death I gave this book a 3.5/5. While the premise is charming, the execution felt too straightforward, lacking the build-up and character development I look for. The romance between Matías and Claire had potential but ended abruptly, leaving me unengaged. The additional POVs felt unnecessary and distracted from the main story. Claire’s fussiness, bordering on OCD, was irritating, but I enjoyed the vivid descriptions of art and food—they made me hungry!
