Finders keepers

Sarah Adler, 1991-

Book - 2025

"Last week, Nina Hunnicutt was a professor about to move into a gorgeous new apartment with her long-term boyfriend. Now, she's single, unemployed, and living with her parents. Even more surprising is the fact that Quentin Bell, her childhood neighbor (and okay, fine, crush), is also back in town-and wants to resume the treasure hunt that ended their friendship almost two decades ago. Hoping the reward promised to whoever finds the rumored riches left behind by the town's eccentric turn-of-the-century seltzer magnate will help her get her life back on track, Nina agrees. Granted, last time the search resulted in a broken heart and seventeen years of silence. But Nina's older and wiser now-surely things will be different.... Except, Quentin is also older and wiser...not to mention distractingly handsome. As they resume their hunt, Nina and Quentin begin to rediscover all the things they once loved best about each other. But unlike the treasure, the secrets that left them empty-handed the first time refuse to stay buried. If there's any hope of finding what they're looking for-and for a future together-Nina and Quentin will have to be brave enough to excavate their past as well"--

Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

A "seltzer magnate" bequeaths the treasure buried somewhere on his property to whoever can find it, kicking off the romance and adventure at the heart of this darling outing from Adler (Happy Medium). As teenagers, neighbors Nina Hunnicutt and Quentin Bell saw their friendship come to an abrupt end when they were caught by police searching for this storied bounty. Now college professor Nina, newly single and out of work, returns to her parents' home in Catoctin, Md., and discovers that Quentin is still living next door. Both between jobs, they agree to resume their search for the missing treasure. As they fall back into their childhood practice of calling out to each other through the windows of their adjoined duplexes, the pair reevaluate their past misunderstandings while discovering their newfound mutual attraction. Still, Nina is leery of a relationship with Quentin since neither knows where their career paths will take them or how romance will figure into those plans. The couple's childhood reminiscences make the depth of their connection clear, while the treasure hunt provides plenty of humor and hijinks. Rom-com fans will adore this.
