Shay Henke has mixed feelings about going to her family’s next reunion. On the one hand, she’ll get to see everyone she loves unconditionally. On the other hand, she knows there’ll be more drama than Carter has liver pills.

The days leading up to the event bring one surprise after another. First Shay must deal with her sister-in-law’s deep, dark secret. Then she has to contend with the childish ways of her business-mogul twin cousins. And when her high school crush wants to be her date to the reunion, it may be a dream come true for her teen self, but the woman she’s become doesn’t know what to make of it.

Shay’s contentment is challenged, and she’s determined to shake things up a bit. But will she find the excitement she’s looking for, or will she realize she prefers her quiet and predictable life?
