Meanwhile, her sister Leah dropped out of school after a weeklong tequila binge, went to “find herself” by hiking through Yellowstone, and switches jobs nearly as often as she switches lovers, leaving Iris to pick up the pieces in her wake.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut now Iris’s life is coming apart at the seams, just when Leah calls her back to their New Hampshire childhood home with a desperate cry for help. Soon, with her own marriage on the brink, normally dutiful Iris is thrust headfirst into preparations for Leah’s wedding to a man the family has never met.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDespite the rush of dress fittings, floral arrangements, and rehearsal dinners, though, Iris is learning to put herself first. And amid a backdrop of late-night swims and a soul-restoring barn renovation, comes Cooper Woods, a high school crush who beckons with the promise of a new start. While Leah faces a past that has finally caught up to her, Iris prepares to say goodbye to a future that is suddenly far from certain.
