Family drama center with this one! Morgan and Benji are getting married after secretly dating for years. Their families are reunited for the event in Maine, and for the first time start truly dealing with Benji‘s older sister‘s suicide a decade earlier. From multiple perspectives, this character-driven novel reels you in from the start! Definitely would make for a good book club pick, as there is plenty to discuss!

Somewhere after I started reading this, I thought: This is going to be messy! I love messy, so I was intrigued. What I was not prepared for was the level of this messiness!

This story centers around Benji and Morgan‘s wedding weekend in Maine. We learn early on about the loss of Alice, Benji‘s sister and Morgan‘s best friend, to suicide. How has that loss affected the families? And what secrets do they keep?

Read this!
