Overview

They agreed to four Saturdays. They weren't prepared for forever. Sidney Morgan has her life calibrated to the decimal point. A senior biomedical engineer in Cleveland, she's her mother's golden child, her company's rising star, and exactly the woman everyone expects her to be. The only problem is that woman bears almost no resemblance to the girl who once got accepted to art school and buried the letter in a drawer. Sidney hasn't picked up a paintbrush in a decade, hasn't made a decision her mother didn't approve of in longer, and hasn't let anyone close enough to notice the difference between her real smile and her professional one. Tyler Jackson is stuck. Three months after his fiancee left him for ""lacking ambition,"" he's living above his grandmother's kitchen in East Cleveland, teaching history to teenagers who care more about his unfinished novel than he does, and ringing in the New Year at a bar he didn't want to visit. His book has been sitting at forty-seven pages for six years. His confidence has been sitting at zero for three months. When they meet over a shared basket of bar crisps at a Cleveland bar on New Year's Eve, the conversation comes so easy it surprises them both. By midnight, they've traded confessions no one else has heard. By 1 AM, buoyed by champagne and the reckless honesty that only strangers can share, they've made a pact: four Saturdays in January. Each week, they'll set a goal tied to their resolutions. Check in. Push each other. No history. No judgment. No complications. She told him she'd probably delete his number by morning. She didn't. Delete His Number by Morning is a warm, sharp, deeply romantic novel about two people who thought they needed a plan when what they really needed was each other. Set against the snow-covered streets of Cleveland in the dead of winter, it's a love story about second chances, creative courage, and the terrifying, beautiful act of letting someone see who you really are. New Year's Eve. A pact. A month of Saturdays. A love story only Cleveland could tell. Perfect for readers who love The Proposal by Jasmine Guillory, People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry, and Love in Color by Bolu Babalola.

This book will be on my favorites list! I highly recommend this beautifully written book!!! I enjoyed this roller coaster ride from beginning to end. Tyler and Sydney journey to friendship, love and acceptance of themselves and each other, is a slow burn. I'm happy in the end they both realize how exceptional they were as individuals, and how they stood in the gap for one another. Both of their back stories, played Essential roles in their choices, as well as Tyler's grandparents, Sydney's family and their best friends and Tyler's amazing !l students! Would have liked an extended epilogue say five years ahead however, happy they got their HEA.
