Overview

"Phoenix is forced to put her dream of being a writer on pause to move back to her hometown and take care of her elderly father as he succumbs to his dementia diagnosis. While she excels at caring for her father, she struggles to care for herself as grapples with her depression. Life feels like a cycle of existential dread until she gets a package from her former best friend, whom she hasn't spoken to in four years, inviting her to be a bridesmaid at her wedding. Told in alternating timelines between past and present, teenage Phoenix meets Aurora when she moves to Stonehill during their sophomore year of high school. The girls quickly become inseparable and as college roommates, start to push the boundaries of their friendship. As adults, they've gone radio silent until this bridesmaid proposal thrusts them back into each other lives." -- Abstract
