Still reeling from a break-up with his first love, Carly, Josh McCarthy is replanting his roots in Los Angeles in an attempt to start over. Once part of South Station Boyz (a teen super-group in the '90s), and a lengthy stint with a Broadway theater company, success is something that has always come easily to Josh-at least where his career is concerned. Love, on the other hand, has been a struggle. With a new role on a hit TV show and a change of scenery, Josh is hoping to get back on track in every aspect of his life, with or without Carly. Meeting model-turned-agent, Abby Levy, should be the answer to his "without Carly" equation. So why do his thoughts keep driving back to her? Every day, to his own detriment, he finds new ways to compare his new love to his old one. He just wants to move on and not feel her absence anymore. Now faced with another major life decision, Josh decides to take a trip back to the Big Apple-back to Carly-to either reclaim his lost love or to finally gain the closure he needs to move on. What will he decide, and can everything really get "Better in Time"? "Better in Time" is the sophomore novel by author Mel Henry. It is the second book in her "Time After Time" series, following "Distance and Time."
