Claire loves her husband, Owen. Owen loves his wife Claire. The only problem? He's her sister Aubrey's best friend and their families have always been convinced that Owen and Aubrey were made for each other. It's of no consequence that Owen and Aubrey have always disagreed with this. Claire has always believed Owen and Aubrey that they are just friends. Or at least, she has until now. Aubrey has recently returned after spending several years living in another country. And she and Owen seem to be spending an awful lot of time together lately. And when Claire wakes up on Valentine's Day to an empty house, a husband who has to work late, and a post from her sister gushing about the thoughtful present she received from her best friend, Claire wonders if Owen is starting to feel like he picked the wrong sister. In a moment of hurt and insecurity, Claire makes an impulsive decision that will have far-reaching consequences on all their lives. Now Owen has to decide just how much he is willing to give up for the woman he loves. And most importantly, find a way to convince her that she was the sister who was made for him.

Lina and her husband Mark are stunned when she gives birth months early while visiting her parents, and she's forced to stay behind with her fragile newborn while he returns home to work. It appears that they've made the best of a terrible situation, but when she and the baby can finally return home, everything feels wrong. Her job has shifted out from under her, parenting turns her marriage inside out, and her gifted parrot has learned some mimics that she can't make heads of tails of. As Lina struggles to navigate the complexities of being a mother outside the NICU, she begins to suspect that while she was absent someone stepped into the space that was supposed to be hers alone. She tackles the mystery one step at a time while trying to focus on her baby's changing needs with the help of a calm and helpful mentor the hospital assigned to them. One by one, the things people tell her and her parrot's insistent voice fill her life with doubt, until the only voice that still feels real is hundreds of miles away.
