When thirty-three-year-old Athena Matthias is asked, yet again, to be a bridesmaid, sheās not exactly enthusiastic about the idea. Still reeling from a messy divorce from her wife, sheās never felt less inclined to celebrate love. But Athena can't say no, especially to one of her oldest friends, and at least it's a destination wedding, which means three days of sun and sand.
As the wedding weekend commences on the gorgeous beaches of Watercolor, Florida, for the first time in ages, Athena finds herself surrounded by people who know and love her. Thereās the bride, nervous about an old relationship; a groomsman grappling with a big mistake; Athenaās mother, ready to date again; and even a potential new romantic interest.
But just as Athena begins to feel herself opening up again, an unexpected guest from the past throws the entire wedding party into chaos. By the time the cake is cut and the ultimate betrayal is revealed, Athena must find the courage to forgiveāboth others and herselfāand embrace the beauty of a chance to move forward.
