End of Story

Kylie Scott — 2023

New York Times bestselling sensation Kylie Scott's sexy, smart and unconventional opposites-attract love story looks at what happens when fate refuses to give up on what's meant to be... When Susie Bowen inherits a charming fixer-upper from her aunt, she's excited to start living her best HGTV life. But when she opens the door to find that her contractor is none other than her ex's best friend, Lars--the same man who witnessed their humiliating public breakup six months ago--she isn't exactly eager to have anyone around whose alliance is with the enemy. But beggars can't be choosers, and the sooner the repairs are done, the sooner she can get back to embracing singledom. Things go from awkward to unbelievable when Lars discovers a divorce certificate hidden in a wall and dated ten years in the future--with both their names on it. It couldn't possibly be real...could it? As Susie and Lars work to unravel the document's origins, the impossibility of a spark between them suddenly doesn't seem so far-fetched. But would a relationship between them be doomed before it's even begun? "I devoured End of Story and adored every page of this hilarious, emotional page-turner... [It] has shot straight to the top of my favorite list!" --Helena Hunting, New York Times bestselling author

Started off a little slow but then the romance (and spice) absolutely hit

why was the divorce agreement even in the book if we're not gonna talk about it again

Susie Bowen has inherited her namesake aunt's house following her death and intends to fix it up and either sell it or live there. When her ex's best friend, Lars, shows up at her door after being given the assignment to help her find and fix a leak, Susie thinks she must be cursed. As they begin work, Lars finds a divorce decree in her wall stating the date in the future when he and Susie get married and divorced. Susie tries to figure out where the document came from, but at the same time, she and Lars start trusting each other, while finding common ground and enjoying each other's company far more than either thought possible.

There are many positive aspects to End of Story. Susie is an extremely likable and fun protagonist, while being down to earth and open minded. Lars is a bit of a lovable grump who appreciates Susie for who she is. Their romance is a joy to experience. However, there are aspects of this book that remain frustrating. The setup of the story is never paid off other than in a vague reference. Also, the former boyfriend seems like too much of a jerk to have ever been someone to snag Susie's interest. Overall, though, End of Story is an amusing rom-com filled with heart and lots of entertaining moments.
