About
Set across three summer weekends in a Fire Island share house, the story of one woman's clumsy but hopeful reentrance to the friend group she left behind when she chased her dreams from New York to Los Angeles and forgot to look back
It's been five years since Maggie followed her screenwriting dreams to Los Angeles after high school. But things in Hollywood didn't go quite to plan. Now, twenty-five and suddenly back home in New York, Maggie doesn't know who she's more anxious to see: her ex-boyfriend, Mac, or her ex—best friend, Liz.
For Liz, Maggie is the girl who abandoned her at the worst possible moment and an unwelcome surprise who could derail her perfect summer. Liz is recently engaged to her high school sweetheart, Cam, but Maggie's arrival brings old wounds bubbling to the surface, exposing the cracks in Liz's apparent happily ever after.
Upon Maggie's homecoming, she accepts her old friends' unexpected invitation to join in their summer share house, a rental named Serendipity. For three weekends, Maggie, Liz, Cam, Mac, and their tight-knit group will take the ferry to Ocean Beach, Fire Island, with an agenda of suntanning on the beach and dancing the nights away at the town bars-anything to ignore the drama of their past catching up with the present. The question is, for Mac and Maggie, and Maggie and Liz... is it possible to find their way back to each other after all this time?
With the nostalgic flavor of a stack of sepia-toned Polaroids, and perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Jennifer Weiner, and Ann Brashares, this big-hearted, page-turning story delves deep into a complicated friend group as they navigate one messy yet magical midtwenties summer.
