Frankie and George have one week to fix everything or let it tear them apart...

Frankie and George. They’ve been best friends for as long as they can remember. Each is the other’s biggest defender and fiercest foe. Too much alike—passionate, impulsive, and headstrong—they’ve always clashed . . . and come back together. But on the eve of her wedding weekend, Frankie doesn’t know where they stand. For the last year, George has been distant, and now she’s not even sure whether he’ll show up to the wedding as her best man.

But then, at the start of the weekend festivities, in walks George. For one glorious evening, Frankie has everything she’s ever wanted. A stable job. Her best friend beside her. A loving fiancé. She’s even getting along with her mother. Life is as close to perfect as she can imagine. Until the next morning, when Frankie’s fiancé dumps her, leaving only a note as an explanation.

Heartbroken and without a place to live, Frankie returns to her family’s home to wallow. But George has a different idea: he wants Frankie to go on her honeymoon. With him. For one week, to the lush rainforest and misty beaches of Tofino.

He tells her he has a plan for healing her broken heart—but Frankie sees this for what it really is: one last chance to repair their friendship even if it means unearthing secrets and long buried feelings neither knows how to handle. Even if it means coming together, or falling apart, for good.
