While spending the summer in the Sierra’s for a music festival, she experiences new friendships and new love.

Thankfully, this newest addition is just as fun as the previous two books. Well Matched follows April, a single mom who is used to living life on her own terms. While preparing to sell her house, she enlists the help of Mitch, the life of the town. In return, April pretends to be Mitch’s girlfriend while visiting his family for the weekend.
