When Morgan and Benji send out their wedding invitations, they know it will come as a shock. Twelve years have passed since the loss of sixteen-year-old Alice Weil, Benji’s sister and Morgan’s best friend, and nothing is quite the same. But as the young couple brings their two families together, they hope that old wounds can be mended.

However, as the guests descend upon the tranquil coastal town for the nuptials, with new lovers and deep-seated agendas in tow, it soon becomes clear that not everyone is ready to move on. Can the wedding's fragile peace survive the sunny weekend? Or will the two families learn that the darkest secrets always come to light in the end?
A lovely debut novel that glimmers with fine writing and notes of human insight. There's a quiet beauty to Lauren Aliza Green's work, and I am now a fan
