Love, Lies and Pina Coladas
About
They thought they were meeting someone new. They were really finding each other again.
Maggie and Oliver Bennett’s marriage isn’t fiery, passionate, or even bitter—it’s just… there. Routine. Comfortable. Empty.
So when Maggie’s best friend secretly sets up an online dating profile for her, and Oliver’s buddy encourages him to check it out, neither expects much.
Until they match with each other.
At first, it feels like a cosmic joke. But when a nosy bartender challenges them to spend one week trying to reconnect, Maggie and Oliver agree. No pressure. No expectations.
Just one week to see if there’s anything left worth saving.
As old sparks reignite and long-buried wounds resurface, they’ll have to answer the hardest question of all—can love survive when life gets in the way?
Or have they already lost each other for good?
A heartwarming, witty, and deeply emotional story about second chances, missed moments, and the love that lingers—even when everything else fades.

A Sweet and Honest Second Chance

This story felt real in a way that surprised me. Maggie and Oliver’s marriage isn’t dramatic or explosive, it’s quiet and distant, which made their journey hit even harder. The online match twist was clever, but what really stood out was the emotional depth as they faced old hurts and unspoken disappointments. I appreciated how the book balanced humor with genuine vulnerability. It’s a touching reminder that love doesn’t always disappear, it sometimes just needs attention.
