When Olivia and Brody drive up to their friend�s idyllic inn�nestled in a valley in the Mediterranean town of Cassis�they know they�ve chosen the perfect spot for their wedding. The ceremony will be held in the lush garden, and the reception will be a small party of only their closest family and friends. But when Olivia and Brody�s guests check in, their peaceful wedding weekend is quickly thrown off balance. The first to arrive is Nell, Olivia�s oldest daughter from her first marriage. Impulsive and reckless, she invites a complete stranger�an enigmatic man who is both alluring and a bit dangerous�to be her guest at the wedding. The next is Carly, Olivia�s youngest daughter, the responsible and pragmatic one. Away from her demanding job and a strained relationship, she feels an urgent need to cut loose�and for once do something brash and unpredictable. Then there is Jake, Brody�s playboy best man, and Fanny, Brody�s mother, who is coping with the fallout of her own marriage. And in the middle of it all is Olivia, navigating the dramas, joys, and pitfalls of planning a wedding and starting a new life.
