7 Second-Chance Romance Novels to Fill Your Always Be My Maybe Void

What if you met The One years ago but couldn’t make a relationship work, or—worse yet—never even revealed your true feelings for that person? While a depressing concept in real life, it’s a positively juicy one in romantic fiction: just ask anyone who’s watched Always Be My Maybe this summer. (Haven’t seen it yet? You should fix that!) The delightful Netflix rom-com stars Ali Wong and Randall Park as Sasha and Marcus, two thirty-somethings who made a total hash of things as awkward, lovestruck teenagers but get a second chance at a future together when they reunite as slightly less awkward, still lovestruck adults. Once the credits roll, you want nothing so much as to gorge on more second-chance-at-love stories. When that happens (and it will), here are 7 romances you can turn to.
