A big-hearted, smart story about figuring out who you want to be when you grow up when you are already a grown-up! Phoebe, queen of the sad girls, arrives at a posh wedding by mistake to the irritation of the micromanaging bride, and things take off from there. A deep and charming story of family drama, wedding guest gossip, and how women can support each other in surprising ways.
