But when he lands an acting gig in Hollywood, Lily returns alone to Nantucket to launch her island-based matchmaking business and plan their wedding from afar.

Meanwhile, Liam’s mother, Yoko Reynolds, an ex–tennis champion with a storied past, finds her own life unraveling. Just as Liam becomes engaged, Yoko discovers her husband has been living a second life in Miami. Paralyzed by fear and habit, she cannot bring herself to make a change

As Lily’s wedding planning intensifies, Yoko is forced to confront the choices that brought her from Osaka to Nantucket, the loves she lost, and the loneliness she can no longer ignore. She also can’t shake the feeling that Lily is about to make a terrible mistake. She isn’t sure she’ll be able to stop it.

With the wedding approaching and her matchmaking business taking off, Lily must reckon with what it truly means to love, to leap, and to accept yourself—whether or not you end up with the person you thought you’d spend your life with.
