Description
Julie definitely doesn't have a problem with marijuana (she's given it up completely, so it doesn't matter if she gets stoned almost daily) and the Airbnb she's running out of her seaside house north of Boston is neither shabby nor illegal. And she has two whole months to come up with the money to buy said house from her second husband before their divorce is finalised. She'd just like David's help organising college plans for her seventeen-year-old daughter. That would be Mandy. To quote Barry Manilow, Oh Mandy.
When David flies east, they find themselves living under the same roof (one David needs to repair). David and Julie pick up exactly where they left off thirty years ago - they're still best friends who can finish each other's sentences. But there's one broken bit between them that no amount of home renovations will fix.
