Perfect for you if...

  • You've had a friendship that mattered so much it still stings years later and you're curious how people actually reconcile.
  • You love stories about women navigating complicated relationships without reducing them to simple good-versus-evil.
  • You enjoy contemporary fiction that's genuinely funny but also makes you think about who you've become since high school.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer books where the narrative clearly condemns one character and validates another without ambiguity.
  • You're not interested in social media culture or Instagram influencer storylines, even when they're handled with humour.
  • You want a slow burn romance as the central plot rather than friendship repair as the emotional core.

About this book

Six years after their friendship ended in a fight, Daphne Berg is surprised when Drue Cavanaugh reappears and asks her to be maid-of-honor at her society wedding. Daphne hasn't spoken to Drue since their falling out, but the invitation includes a weekend at a waterfront Cape Cod mansion and the promise of meeting single men. Despite the risks of letting Drue back into her life, Daphne agrees. Drue was always the one with everything except the ability to maintain friendships. Daphne, meanwhile, has changed since high school. She's no longer the self-effacing sidekick she once was and has built a career as a plus-size Instagram influencer. The story explores the complexities of female relationships, the challenges of sharing life online, and what matters most in the face of friendship, family, and personal growth.
