For Gwen Merchant, love has always been doled out in little
packets—from her father, a marine biologist who buried
himself in work after her mother’s death; and from her
husband, Peter, who’s always been respectable and safe. But
when an old college boyfriend, the irrepressible Elliot
Hull, invites himself back into Gwen’s life, she starts to
remember a time when love was an ocean. What does Elliot want? In fact, he has a rather surprising
proposition: he wants Gwen to become his wife. His pretend
wife. Just for a few days. To accompany him to his family’s
lake house for the weekend so that he can fulfill his dying
mother’s last wish. Reluctantly Gwen agrees to play
along—with her husband Peter’s full support. It’s just one
weekend—what harm could come of it?But as Gwen is drawn into
Elliot’s quirky, wonderful family—his astonishingly wise and
open mother, his warm and welcoming sister, and his
adorable, precocious niece—she starts questioning everything
she’s ever expected from love. And as she begins to uncover
a few secrets about her own family, it suddenly looks like a
pretend relationship just might turn out to be the most real
thing she’s ever known.
