She’s a wallflower florist; he’s literally a rocket scientist. But Callie and Nate have been best friends since they were in diapers. They’ve seen each other through every milestone and, as long as they’ve got each other, anything is possible … or so Callie believed.
As heartbroken college freshmen, the polar opposites, vowed to marry if they were still single at 33. Now, two months from their pact’s deadline, what seemed like a fun, ridiculous notion, suddenly has the spark of potential for eternally single Callie and the never serious Nate. But there’s a complication: Nate has just met perky, way-too-perfect Beth and he wants Callie’s help in creating her magical arrangements to woo Beth. Yet, as the romance between Nate and Beth grows, Callie sees her best friend drifting away. Worse still, feelings they never had for each other are suddenly budding between them (at least on her part).
When Callie’s father reappears after nearly two decades with a devastating prognosis, Callie must face the betrayal of his abrupt departure and years of silence. As she weeds through the tangle of tumultuous emotions, she uncovers the lies she’s wrapped around herself as self-protection. With the clock ticking on her father’s life and Nate’s single status, Callie must decide: is she strong enough to bury a lifetime of nurturing her feelings of unworthiness to take a chance at happiness (and a bit of harmless floral sabotage), if it could ruin the relationship with the one person she’s ever fully trusted?

What readers are saying ...
"Compulsively readable, relentlessly charming, and unpredictable in the best possible way, The Arrangements is my favorite kind of story. I’ve been eagerly awaiting Orly Konig’s next novel and this far exceeded my expectations. Readers are in for an absolute treat.” —Camille Pagán, bestselling author of Good for You.
"That moment when you finish a book, sigh, look around, and immediately miss the characters is a sign of a tremendously good story. That’s the way I felt after I read The Arrangements. Orly Konig’s prose sparkles as she effortlessly weaves a tale around two characters as fierce as they are flawed. Callie and Nate have a friendship that every reader will envy, their fun and flirty banter leaping off the page. It was a delight watching Callie’s transformation from wall flower to wildflower. Fans of Emily Henry and Carly Fortune will adore this romantic novel of friendship, family, self-discovery, and floral bouquets. A treat from start to finish."
— Kerry Lonsdale, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, and Amazon Charts bestselling author of Everything We Keep and Side Trip
"Like the flowers Callie gathers to make dreams come true for her customers, THE ARRANGEMENTS is the perfect bouquet of a novel: sparkling prose, compulsively readable and just plain swoony. Konig, a master of creating big-hearted, deeply-relatable characters you can’t help rooting for, has gifted her readers with a pitch-perfect friends-to-lovers story. I dare you not to fall in love with this book!"
