"I loved this delightful romance about makeovers of old homes, old personas, and relationships that never had a chance to launch. A sweet, charming reminder of what you can build with a strong foundation." - Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Two WaysErin Hahn's Built to Last is a sparkling second chance romance about owning what you’re worth and fighting for the one who got away.Shelby Springfield has spent the last ten years trying to overcome her past, sanding it away like the rough spots on the vintage furniture she makes over. But as a former child star, it’s hard to forget a widely documented meltdown and huge public break up with her former co-star Lyle Jessup. It’s also hard to forget her other co-star and childhood sweetheart, Cameron Riggs—the one who got away.Anytime Shelby has called, Cameron has come running... And then he runs right off again to chase stories around the world by making documentaries, too scared to admit what he really wants. But when Lyle stirs the pot, getting the two back in the spotlight with a home renovation show, Cameron can't help but get on board.There's something in it for everyone—almost. Cameron wants to set down some roots. Shelby wants to prove she's not the messy party girl anymore. And a jealous Lyle can’t help but try to get in the way. But for his two childhood friends who had more chemistry than he could ever dream of, nothing is getting in the way of their second chance at love.“Thank you, Erin Hahn, for making me laugh and swoon and cry sweet, happy tears. Can I live in this book?" - Jen Doll, author of Save the Date and Unclaimed Baggage

"Such an entertaining read. The title totally fits the context of the book. I love reading about the history of Shelby and Cameron. The story puts the lives of child stars in perspective and how they actually don’t really have one. It’s hard to find balance in the entertainment world and amongst social media. This is a great read for the poolside."

"Love me some good character growth. I appreciated that the characters looked at their own flaws and worked to improve in those areas. I also liked how this story shows the value of timing within relationships. The characters were fun without being overly quirky. The drawbacks for me were that the pacing felt slow through the beginning and I had a harder time following the time jumps, especially at first. The rather, um, intimate scenes were too graphic for me personally so I ended up skipping over those pages. I also wasn't a huge fan of switching perspectives each chapter, but the chapter titles were a fun touch! Overall a fun read!<br/><br/>Thanks to NetGalley for providing this ARC for my honest review."
