Most Anticipated by SheReads

An emotional, irresistible second-chance romance filled with sparkling humor, big feelings, and "melt your face off intimacy" (Jessica Joyce) from celebrated USA Today bestselling author Tarah DeWitt.

This time, they'll get it right.


Wren and Ellis Byrd fell in love as kids, had their son Sam when they were only teenagers, and built a life together in the coastal town of Spunes, Oregon. They were made for one another . . . until they fell apart. Now divorced and in their 30s, Wren runs the bakery in town, while Ellis works as a firefighter. They live separate lives, though they are hardly off each other’s minds.

When Ellis and Wren move Sam into college, Ellis convinces Wren to take an extended road trip back to Spunes to see if they can give their relationship one last chance. Amid the gorgeous California coastline and the intimacy they have missed for years, Wren starts to think it just might be possible. But can the past truly be left behind? When words fail and old wounds resurface, it’s a soul-baring letter that could finally reveal the truth—or close the door on them forever.

Tarah DeWitt writes character-driven romances filled with laughter and Big Feelings. She loves stories centered around perfectly imperfect characters, especially those with just enough trauma to keep them funny, without ever being forcefully cavalier. She’s the national bestselling author of Savor It, The Co-op, and Funny Feelings, with plenty more to come.

Reviews

Praise for Left of Forever:

Tarah weaves pure magic! Left of Forever is my favorite type of love story. The perfect blend of realistic and endlessly romantic.” – New York Times bestselling author Elsie Silver

“DeWitt delivers an impeccable second chance romance that snatched me off real life and had me breathless until I turned the last page. I’m hopeless when it comes to beautiful prose that makes the world quiet around me, but pair that with a nice dose of angst, spine-tingling steam, and the kind of love that’s etched onto your heart, and I’m yours forever. Truly. That’s how long I plan on keeping Ellis and Wren’s story safely tucked against my chest.” – Elena Armas, New York Times bestselling author of The Spanish Love Deception and The Fiancé Dilemma

“A uniquely immersive love story, with writing that’s both stunningly lyrical and side-splittingly hilarious. I’ve never read a romance like this before, one so intimate and lived-in, with characters who grab your heart on page one and never let go. Tarah DeWitt is a master of emotion. You’ll never look at ice cream the same way again.” – Rachel Lynn Solomon, New York Times bestselling author of Business or Pleasure and The Ex-Talk

Aching and sexy, Left Of Forever hits you in your feels. The Second Chance Romance I needed.” – Julie Soto, USA Today bestselling author of Forget Me Not and Not Another Love Song

“Left of Forever
is a remarkable romance about grown-up love, about a love worth fighting for again and again, about hard-won love. It’s a second chance story for the ages. Wren and Ellis’s journey back to each other is written with incredible care, visceral tenderness, a depth that has no end, and melt-your-face off intimacy. I need a world-renowned scientist to study Tarah Dewitt’s beautiful brain, because I’m not sure her talent is of this earth.” – Jessica Joyce, USA Today bestselling author of You, With a View and The Ex-Vows

"Left of Forever is a gorgeous story about finding love even when it seems like all is lost. Full of hope, tenderness, and a burn that will make you physically ache - Wren and Ellis's story will live in my head for what's left of forever." – Lana Ferguson, USA Today bestselling author of The Nanny

"Left of Forever is a testament to the power of a second chance romance...gorgeous, tender, and filled with adorable, lovable, smoldering hope. It’s the kind of book that you wish you could live in, and I finished it feeling like an honorary member of the loyal (and nosy) Byrd family, and an honorary citizen of Spunes, Oregon—plus very ready to find a stoic firefighter to bake something for. Five stars!" — Sierra Simone, USA Today bestselling author of Priest and Honey Cut

“Tarah DeWitt's Left of Forever packs such an emotional punch -- the pressure it can put on a relationship when you have a kid young, the bittersweetness of sending that same kid off to college still believing that relationship to be broken beyond repair. I loved watching Wren and Ellis find their way back to each other, both through their letters where they could express some of their truest feelings and through the time they spent together. (And oh, the time they spent together!) I would know a Tarah DeWitt romance anywhere." - Alicia Thompson, USA Today bestselling author of Love in the Time of Serial Killers and The Art of Catching Feelings

"You can't help but ache for Ellis and Wren. Their longing for each other leaps off the page. A truly heartfelt read, brimming with wit and charm." - K.A. Tucker, USA Today and Internationally bestselling author of The Simple Wild

“My heart!!! No one writes raw, real emotion like Tarah DeWitt. This is not a simple romance. Left of Forever is a true love story that captures the wild feelings of a full, lived-in relationship. This is a gorgeous second-chance romance full of yearning, humor, and steam.” – Kate Goldbeck, national bestselling author of You, Again

"Left of Forever is an emotional, soul-satisfying love story that wrapped itself around my heart from the first page. Heartfelt, sexy and with characters so real, I felt like they were sitting beside me, Tarah DeWitt has proven once again why she is one of my must-read writers." – Catherine Walsh, author of Holiday Romance

"Emotionally rich and exquisitely horny, Left of Forever is a gorgeous romance sure to make you laugh and cry. Its characters might need a second chance at their happily-ever-after, but Tarah DeWitt will win your undying love the first time around." - Laura Hankin, author of One-Star Romance

“A heartbreakingly honest and satisfyingly steamy love story about learning to trust the second time around. Filled with tender hearted characters and the kind of sexy angst that’ll have you clutching your chest, Left of Forever is my ideal second chance romance. I’m a forever fan of Tarah DeWitt.” - Ellie Palmer, author of Four Weekends and a Funeral

Praise for The Co-Op:

"Sexy, smart, playful, and poignant, DeWitt has created pure romance magic!" —Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling author of Love and Other Words

"Tarah Dewitt is the master of messy, unforgettable characters who make you desperate for the happily-ever-after that this author always perfectly delivers, and The Co-op is no exception. Cleverly constructed, laugh-out-loud funny, heart-achingly tender, and deeply sexy, this book gave me exactly what I want from a romance: passionate, imperfect characters I could fully root for, placed in complex, emotionally-fraught situations I wanted to see them through. I finished this book with a sigh of happiness: for Deacon and LaRynn and the love they found, and for myself and all the readers who get to watch it happen." —Kate Clayborn, author of Georgie, All Along

Praise for Savor It:

"What an absolutely delightful treat to savor! With the comfort only a small-town romance can bring, and the allure of a deal that’s struck between our leads, Tarah DeWitt effortlessly captured my heart with Savor It. Sage and Fisher’s journey is a relatable, sexy and beautiful tale about falling in love, finding your place and bravely unveiling new beginnings. And my favorite thing about it? It packs the most delicious emotional punch." —Elena Armas, New York Times bestselling author of The Spanish Love Deception

"This Pacific Northwest rom-com has delicious tension from the first interaction. Add in fake dating and a steamy scene in a library, and who could ask for more? Readers will appreciate how much attention and care DeWitt put into creating fully-framed characters grappling with grief, chasing dreams, and figuring out how to live in the moment." —LibraryReads, May 2024 pick

"DeWitt’s sprightly narrative is by turns funny and red-hot, as Sage and Fisher, who share a love of puns, develop some serious chemistry... This is a charmer." —Publishers Weekly

"DeWitt delivers another emotion-packed rom-com that readers will be eating up, full of witty banter, comical hijinks, and tender moments of healing. Hand to those who enjoy grumpy/sunshine pairings as well as fake-relationship romances." —Library Journal

“Stir small-town charm together with an equal-parts sweet and spicy love story—you’ll get this perfect fake-dating recipe for summer romance. This delightful read had us savoring every page.” —Emily Wibberly and Austin Siegemund-Broka, authors of The Roughest Draft

Equal parts swoon-worthy and poignant, Savor It is deliciously sexy. If Schitt’s Creek and The Bear had a love-child, it would be this book.” —Julie Soto, USA Today bestselling author of Forget Me Not

"Savor It is brimming with heat, humor, and heart. Real, relatable characters make this read simply unputdownable. Tarah always weaves a world that is easy to get lost in, and Savor it is no exception. A top read for me this year!" —Elsie Silver, USA Today bestselling author

"Savor It is exactly what I wanted to do with every page of this spicy, soft, sensitive read. Chef’s kiss (literally)!" —Ava Wilder, author of Will They or Won't They

"With equal parts sharp wit, delicious tension, and aching intimacy, Savor It immediately captivated me and refused to let go. Tarah DeWitt expertly crafted Sage and Fisher into fully realized, beautifully imperfect people and made me fall in love with them just as surely as they fell in love with each other. The title might as well be a promise, because I savored every gorgeous word until the very last drop." —Jessica Joyce, USA Today bestselling author of You, with a View

"Savor It is a glittering love letter to small towns, big puns, wrenching heartaches and expansive palates. Bittersweet, sexy and full of feeling, DeWitt has a gift for giving equal space in her stories to explore everyday nuances and those once in a lifetime moments. Simply put, I love her brand of love stories.” —Erin Hahn, author of Built to Last

"Tarah DeWitt writes with a warm authenticity and charm that simply shines off the page. Sage is one of the most compulsively likeable protagonists I've read in a long time—big hearted, bohemian, and unapologetically living her life the way she wants to live it. Fisher's a man adrift, magnetic and angsty—and watching him find his home in Sage is an absolute delight. Summery, sensual, and wildly swoony, Savor It is a delectable treat." —Jen Devon, author of Bend Toward the Sun

"Tarah DeWitt’s Savor It mixes heat, humor, and heartfelt moments to serve up a delightful read that will stir your emotions and make you smile." —Sophie Sullivan, award-winning author of Ten Rules for Faking It

"No one is using the twenty-six-letter alphabet like Tarah DeWitt. Savor It is delightfully funny, perfectly angsty, and indomitably hopeful. Sage and Fisher will have you swooning and sweating, but even if you can't stand the heat, I promise you'll want to stay in the kitchen." —Lyla Sage, author of Done and Dusted

"Savor It is a small town romance with huge heart...I would give it a Michelin star if I could!" —Lana Ferguson, USA Today bestselling author of The Nanny

"Charming and unique...Savor It is a hilariously hopeful and swoon-worthy love story." —Liz Tomforde, author of Mile High

Praise for Funny Feelings:

"Tarah DeWitt’s Funny Feelings is fake dating perfection and a true delight from page one. It's everything I look for in a romance, deftly blending heart, humor, and the perfect amount of angst. Prepare to swoon over Farley and Meyer, your next favorite book couple." —Amy Lea, international bestselling author of Exes and O's

"This book is pure romance catnip and a master class in yearning. Tarah DeWitt's writing simply wraps you up in joy. Cozy, tender, sexy, hilarious – I adored every word of Fee and Meyer’s love story.” —Rachel Lynn Solomon, New York Times bestselling author of The Ex Talk

Sweet, soft, and brimming with A+ pining, Funny Feelings is a perfect curl-up on the couch read. Fee and Meyer will have you rooting for their well-earned HEA from the jump!” —Rosie Danan, author of The Roommate

"Funny Feelings is a friends-to-lovers, fake relationship, single dad, age gap, workplace romance, where each trope feels natural, organic and real. Written in first person, each voice is completely unique and utterly absorbing. It’s brilliantly written, mature, polished, emotive, funny, and an example of an indie published book that should be front and center in every bookstore. Funny Feelings gave me all the feels and I could not recommend it more highly." –Evie Alexander, award-winning author of Highland Games
