Nina Hunnicutt—newly single, unemployed, and frustrated with her love life and career prospects—is staying with her parents in small-town Maryland while she figures out her next steps. Complicating matters, Quentin Bell, her one-time next-door neighbor and former best friend, is also back for the summer after ending things with his fiancée. Nina and Quentin haven’t spoken for 17 years, ever since a they spent a disastrous night searching for an eccentric local seltzer mogul’s hidden treasure, an event that abruptly destroyed both their friendship and Nina’s budding crush on Quentin. Now Quentin wants to keep searching for the treasure, which has never been found. They renew their search, and Nina is determined to focus on the hunt for the treasure and get back to her old life, but as they find their way back to their friendship and the feelings that have been under the surface all along, she begins to wonder if her old life, or a life with Quentin, is what she truly wants.
VERDICT Adler (Happy Medium) mixes witty banter and well-drawn characters with her signature heart and humor to bring Nina and Quentin’s story to a satisfying resolution in her best novel to date.
