Given Chances: A small town. A lifelong friendship. A love neither saw coming.
For twenty-five years, Kimmy has been waiting for her best friend to make a move.
For twenty-five years, Dick has been too afraid to make one.
They've been inseparable since childhood. Business partners, confidants, the one constant in each other's lives. Everyone in town figured out long ago what they refuse to say out loud. Dick has stayed silent because losing her as a friend would be worse than never having her at all. Kimmy has stayed silent because she was sure that if he felt the same, he would have said so by now.
Now they're both planning a life with someone else. And the comfortable world they built together is coming apart.
Twenty-five years of waiting. It may already be too late.
Given Chances is a warm, funny, sweet friends-to-lovers romance for readers who love small towns, second chances, later-in-life love, and a slow burn twenty-five years in the making.

Entertaining!
I enjoyed getting to know the characters. Kimmy was fun, Brandy was a hoot, the coffee counter guys were great, and the main character, Dick, was just foolish enough to enjoy.
