Maybe, Maybe Not - Elizabeth Gillman

It’s taken decades, but Annie Reeves has learned to coexist with her obsessive-compulsive disorder. Travel’s still out of the question, but her moss-draped historic Florida town holds everyone and everything she loves: her fearless best friend, Kat; her ex-husband, Paul, (it’s complicated); and Luna Blu, the beloved boutique Annie’s managed for decades.

When her boss announces her retirement, it’s not even a question; Annie has to buy the boutique. But stocking it means leaving the safety of her Gulf Coast community and venturing into the unknown. With courageous Kat at her side, though, Annie’s finally up for her greatest challenge yet.

Then Kat dies unexpectedly. Braving life without the one person who always had her back seems impossible to Annie. And buying the boutique? Unthinkable. But when Annie learns Kat wanted her to scatter her ashes far and wide with her wayward brother, Evans, she’s determined to honor Kat’s wishes.

Unfortunately, that requires facing gas station bathrooms, crowds... basically everything that triggers Annie. To Paul’s consternation, Evans is prepared to step in and support her where Kat left off. But is Annie really ready to let her heart, not her head, lead the way?
