How to Not Fall for Your Ex

by Meg Easton

Book 4 of the How Not to Fall series

195 pages · First published 2020

Timini has little interest in dating after a history of disappointing relationships, but she agrees to beta-test a blind dating app that hides everyone’s photographs. Anonymous messages with a funny, thoughtful man named Jackson begin changing her mind despite her determination to remain detached. When they finally meet, she discovers Jackson is actually Jack Oliver, the high-school boyfriend who broke her heart twelve years earlier. Falling for the man behind the messages means deciding whether the person who hurt her has truly changed and whether knowing his identity should erase the connection they built without appearances.
