Second First Impressions

Sally Thorne is the USA Today-bestselling author of The Hating Game. She spends her days climbing into fictional worlds of her own creation. She lives in Canberra, Australia with her husband in a house filled with vintage toys, too many cushions, a haunted dollhouse and the world's sweetest pug.

"Second First Impressions is the warmest, coziest, sweetest book of the year, an absolutely perfect blend of humor and heart. I want to live inside Sally Thorne's brain." - Emily Henry, New York Times bestselling author of Beach Read

"I inhaled Second First Impressions! I had to force myself to slow down because I didn't want it to end. It's a truly adorable, heart-warming, swoon-worthy love story. A book hasn't given me the warm-fuzzies like this for a very long time." - Beth O'Leary, bestselling author of The Flatshare

"Second First Impressions is about realizing that life is short, and that to live it to the fullest we must be both selfish and selfless. It urges us to soak up the beauty of each passing moment - and this wondrous book is a good place to start." - Entertainment Weekly

"Thorne manages to bring all the characters to vivid life, endearing them to the reader through the enumeration of their quirks and fleeting revelations about their pasts. Each scene between the protagonists-whose first meeting will make you laugh and wince simultaneously-is a delight, as is Ruthie's motley found family." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"Following 99 Percent Mine, Thorne's latest novel is a sweet story, merging a woman whose fears tend to overpower her dreams, and a slow-burn romance that turns her world upside down." - Library Journal

"Second First Impressions was perfect for the moment I was reading it in. It's funny and might make you cry (in a cathartic way), and has a hero whose kindness I truly loved." - Smart Bitches, Trashy Books
