If Not You

Ellen O'Clover

Mattie French and Campbell Porter are rival Chicago copywriters whose professional feud, dating back to their intern days, is reignited when their competing agencies are forced to share a month-long cross-country trip pitching the same luxury resort client. As old grudges collide with long-buried feelings, the dual present-day and flashback timelines slowly reveal how much of their history Mattie has misread. It's a workplace enemies-to-lovers story wrapped around family grief, professional ambition, and the fear of losing a best friend to a new chapter of life.
