If We Were Perfect concludes Ana Huang's If Love series with an emotional second-chance romance between two former lovers forced to live under the same roof. Filled with witty dialogue, heartfelt emotions, slow-burning chemistry, and family drama, it's a story about forgiveness, healing, and discovering that true love sometimes deserves another chance.
Olivia had her entire future mapped out: earn an MBA, climb the corporate ladder on Wall Street, get married before thirty, and build the perfect life. Everything was under control—until an unexpected apartment flood destroys her plans and leaves her with nowhere to go.
With no other options, she's forced to ask the last person she ever wanted to depend on for help: Sammy, the ex-boyfriend she broke up with years ago. Before long, she's living in his house, trying to ignore his effortless charm, the cupcakes he keeps baking, and the undeniable chemistry that never truly disappeared.
Sammy has spent years trying to move on. Between running his growing bakery and dealing with his loving—but extremely meddlesome—family, life is already complicated enough. Yet when Olivia appears on his doorstep asking for help, he simply can't refuse. He only hopes he won't make the mistake of falling for her all over again.
As they share the same home, old wounds slowly reopen, hidden truths about their breakup come to light, and both begin to realize that the past they remembered isn't the complete story. What starts as an awkward reunion gradually transforms into a touching journey of healing, trust, and rediscovering the love they once lost.
