    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.

    Summary

    “You’re married,” he says, not cruelly, just reminding her, “to my brother.”

    To Belly, there are infinite ways to justify having an affair with your husband’s brother.

    Summary

    When Belly returns from Paris and heads to Boston for a job interview, the last thing she expects is to end up in the ER- or in the orbit of Dr. Conrad Fisher.

    She certainly doesn’t expect to end up in his bed a week later. Panicked, she slips out before sunrise, telling herself she’ll never see him again.

    But fate has other plans.

    Because if there are infinite worlds, every version of belly chooses Conrad in every one of them.

    Summary

    I’m looking at her, which is how I notice her picking the peach slices off the melted ice cream and eating them, one by one, with her fingers. She closes her eyes, and I wonder if we’re stuck in the same memory. I could live in it forever, I could, but I need to stop clinging to the past.

    “Belly?”

    “Yeah?”

    “If you need somewhere to stay while looking for a place of your own, I have a spare room.”

    (or: 3 times Conrad watches Belly eat peaches, and one time where they eat them together.)

    Summary

    Conrad is working on understanding what it feels like to go an entire day and not actively think about Isabel Conklin. He’s pretty conflicted about it, truthfully.

    (Conrad doesn't see Belly in the airport, and Belly doesn't say anything to him before she boards her flight. He flies back to California that night assuming the wedding went on without him.)
