As a distraction from Ruby's relationship with bad-boy Travis, her mother makes her attend the book group she runs for senior citizens. They discover that one of the seniors has a long-lost love and plan a reunion that involves a nursing-home kidnapping and a coastal road trip. This story of intergenerational friendships features satisfyingly complex characters and relationships.
