About the Book

Second First Impressions is the clever, funny, and heartfelt third novel from USA Today bestselling author Sally Thorne, best known for her beloved debut The Hating Game. Ruthie Midona has spent the last six years dedicating her entire adult life to the front desk of the Providence Luxury Retirement Villa, caring for its residents, keeping the property running with an assist from DIY YouTube tutorials, and guarding the endangered tortoises in its gardens. Somewhere along the way, buttoned-up and barely twenty-five, she's forgotten that there's a whole world beyond the Villa's gates, and that she's still young.

Everything changes when Teddy Prescott arrives: the tattooed, long-haired, effortlessly charming son of the property developer who just bought the retirement community. Hired as a personal assistant to two ancient, delightfully mischievous residents, Teddy is used to being underestimated for his looks, and Ruthie is used to keeping her guard up. As Teddy takes on his new duties, from boutique shopping to sincerely rendered flattery, and gets steadily pulled into life at the Villa, he and Ruthie find themselves drawn into an unexpected, slow-burning connection, one that forces Ruthie to question everything she thought she knew about who she is, and what she's been missing. Blending Thorne's signature wit with real emotional depth, the novel is a warm, funny, slow-burn romance about opening yourself up to risk, love, and the possibility of a completely different life.
