(Book)

Contains topics and questions for discussion in back of book.

Thirty-three-year-old Abby Stern is on track to marry Mark Medoff, her childhood summer sweetheart, a man she met at the weight-loss camp that her mother forced her to attend. Yet Abby can't escape the feeling that something isn't right or the memories of one thrilling night she spent with a man named Sebastian two years previously. When Abby gets a last-minute invitation to lead a cycling trip from NYC to Niagara Falls, she's happy to have a chance to reflect and make up her mind. But things get complicated fast. First, Abby spots a familiar face in the group--Sebastian, the one-night stand she thought she'd never see again. Then, her mother, Eileen joins the trip. Abby is forced to reconsider everything she believes about herself, her mother, and the nature of love.
