Post-grad Stories

My name is Sav. I'm twenty-two, but most days I feel like a twelve year-old. I am not attuned to a career or a white picket fence lifestyle. I am not heading confidently in the direction of my dreams - instead, I'm heading to a plot of land in Spokane, Washington that I leased on a whim after I got dumped and quit my job. I have meager possessions, a dog in the backseat, and no plan. What I couldn't have known, though, is what would bloom out of my completely and utterly failed attempt at adulthood.

Like many twenty something year olds, that are just graduating college, Kira, is confused and overwhelmed about how to navigate her post-grad life, as she enters the "real-world" with no guidelines. But little did Kira know, things begin to change unexpectedly when she takes a trip half way across the world.

When twenty-three year old Gemma Perry receives a wedding invitation in the mail of her New York apartment, she thinks nothing of it. Though when she looks closer, realizing that the wedding invitation is from her old best friend, Avery Nelson, Gemma is confused. Her friendship with Avery left on terrible terms, and they have not spoken in years. Gemma does not understand why she has been invited to the wedding but also -- why is only Avery's name on the invite? The grooms name is nowhere to be found. Gemma decides she is not going to attend, because why unpack an old friendship that did not need to be brought back to life? Though when her best friend Marcie convinces her to reconsider going back to her home state of Michigan, because this would be the last summer the two post-grads would have before they started their careers in the Fall, Gemma hesitantly agrees. Though as soon as she steps foot back in Michigan, Gemma instantly wishes that she could turn around and go straight back to New York. In her first week alone, Gemma finds out who the groom is, which sends her to a walk down memory lane she never saw coming. Though she wants desperately to go home, Gemma's sister somehow convinces her to stay for the summer. Through unexpected wedding planning, and family drama hiding in the corner, this definitely is one summer that Gemma will never forget.
