There’s Always Something Somewhere - Sarah Greenlee

Cass doesn’t do spontaneous anymore.

Not after heartbreak. Not after spending her twenties disappointing everyone around her. At thirty-two, she’s built a routine life around her corporate event planning career that leaves very little room for mistakes. Cass likes it that way.

Her friends? That’s another story.

Worried she’s turned solitude into a habit, they send her on a ten-day LGBTQ+ retreat in the Utah desert. Cass agrees only to get them off her back. When she arrives to the horrifying realization that she’s decades younger than almost everyone there, she is ready to book the next flight home.

Then she meets Taylor.

Taylor is a charming staff member her age whose love of adventure and refusal to take life too seriously makes Cass feel off-balance in all the worst and best ways. The goal? Keep Taylor at arm’s length. Except somewhere between desert hikes, late-night adventures, and unexpected wisdom from the queer elders, Cass starts wanting things she promised herself she didn’t need anymore.

As the retreat comes to an end, Cass must decide: is risking another broken heart scarier than returning to the carefully controlled life she built to avoid one?

Cass came to the desert to endure ten days. She didn’t expect to find a reason to risk her heart again.
