    Summary

    "Conrad," Celine will repeat slowly, rolling the name around in her mouth like wine. Testing it. Tasting it. "Tell me about Conrad, Isabel. Did he break your heart?"

    "It's more complicated—"

    "It would feel good to write your own ending this time, no?"

    Summary

    “You're my future brother-in-law,” Belly says. “I’m marrying your brother. It doesn't matter that we once—”

    “Fucked?” Conrad interrupts.

    (Or: Jeremiah cheats. Belly doesn't. At least, that's what she spends the summer leading up to her wedding telling herself.)

    Summary

    Isabel Conklin is sitting in the passenger seat of a beat-up truck that smells of burnt leather, a remnant of the arson it survived two weeks prior. She’s beat up, too, violet bruises blooming on her knees. At least, she tells herself, glancing toward the boy at the wheel, they match his.

    Conrad Fisher would kill a man for her. In fact, he almost did.

    ***

    (or: Belly Conklin is privileged, and the beach house is hers. Conrad Fisher lives and works on his family's peach orchard. She still loves him, chooses him. His demons, too.)

    Summary

    Isabel Conklin has a plan. A career in private equity. A fully-funded Roth IRA. A boyfriend who looks good in photos and gets along with her parents.

    What she doesn’t have is any desire to get engaged at her own birthday dinner—especially not in front of two sets of parents, one suspiciously expensive cake, and her childhood best friend Conrad, who just flew back into town looking unfairly good in black.

    Wry, sharply observant, and just a little unhinged, First Call is a love letter to the best friends who know you too well, the plans that fall apart, and the unexpected things that happen when you finally stop pretending you have it all figured out.
