The book cover for The Heart Remembers has a side profile of a woman wearing a short navy blue dress and a straw hat. she's got one hand on the hat. There's a bayou in the background with spanish moss trees.

One wedding. One ex. And one week of chaos that might just lead to forever.
Emma Smith closed the door on New Orleans and the painful memories it held long ago. But when her best friend’s wedding pulls her back to the vibrant city she swore she’d never revisit, a familiar voice on the plane sends a jolt through her. Suddenly, the memories of one unforgettable summer—and the woman who made it so special—flood back.
For Riley, life in New Orleans flows as smoothly as the Mississippi. The family business is her focus, and the dreams of her youth have settled into the past. Until Emma’s unexpected return.
Thrown together for a week of wedding celebrations, the spark between them reignites, unsettling Riley’s carefully constructed contentment. But as laughter and old feelings resurface, so do the reasons Emma left. Can they seize their second chance at love, or are some wounds too deep to heal?

As always there are superb moments where Ally McGuire presents events that leave me snorting with mirth. The first is at the start with the story of the car keys and coffee. You’ll need to read it yourself to get the full benefit.
