Lauren Aliza Green
Book - 2024

"When Morgan and Benji invite their families to their wedding in Maine, they know the news will come as a shock after keeping their relationship secret. Twelve years have passed since the stunning loss of Benji's sixteen-year-old sister Alice, who was also Morgan's best friend, and no one is quite the same. But the young couple decide to leap headfirst into marriage and have asked their fractured families to finally come together, marking the first time their parents and loved ones will be gathered since Alice's funeral. The arriving guests bring with them long-held secrets and a healthy skepticism about the looming nuptials. Peter, Morgan's father, may be trying to talk her out of walking down the aisle; Linnie, Benji's mother, is accompanied by a new boyfriend with his own messy past; Nick, Benji's father, is scheming for a new job offer before his wife, once his secretary and mistress, finds out he lost his old one. Morgan has delicate secrets of her own that threaten to jeopardize the happiness she has so longed for. And Benji is just trying to make sure the whole weekend doesn't implode. As the whirlwind wedding weekend unfolds, old flames are rekindled, deep wounds resurface, and unearthed secrets threaten to shatter the fragile peace the wedding represents. With each new revelation, the bride and groom and their complicated families are left wondering just how well they know their loved ones"--
