Fortunately, she's got Colin, her magnetic boyfriend, who sweeps her along for activities, friendships, and future plans. Then she goes on a last-minute trip with her distant mom to a family vacation house that Finley didn't know existed and is now about to be sold. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHer mom was estranged from her own parents and siblings since leaving home for college, and it's a novelty for Finley to see her aunts and cousins.

She has no choice but to live, for the first time, without plans.
