Résumé
When Morgan and Benji surprise their families with awedding invitation to Maine, they're aware that the news of their clandestine relationship will come as a shock. Twelve years have passed since the stunning loss of sixteen-year-old Alice, Benji's sister and Morgan's best friend, and no one is quite the same. But the young couple decides to plunge headlong into matrimony, marking the firsttime their fractured families will reunite since Alice's funeral.
Before long, the arriving guests descend upon the tranquil coastal town, bringing with them not only skepticism about the impromptu nuptials but also deep-seated secrets and agendas oftheir own. As the whirlwind weekend unfolds, old passions reignite, deep wounds resurface, and unearthed secrets threaten to shatter the fragile peace the wedding promises. With each new revelation, the to-be-weds and their complicated families are forced to question just how well they know the ones they hold dear.
