The Summer of 3

During the summer before Rachel's wedding, three friends must face realities none had foreseen. In college, everything about life and the future had seemed optimistic and ideal, but the reality of life proves more complicated, uncertain, and incongruent with what any of them had expected. Chelsea deals with a brutally honest and traditional mother who has an opinion about everything. Danielle is caught with choosing between a career and a relationship threatened to be torn apart by distance, and Rachel must decide if the wedding and life she had always imagined for herself is worth the complications and frustrations it is presenting. Each of the girls must work through and face her own reality while learning from each other's problems in order to arrive at the answers each so desperately seeks. In the process, each searches to discover her own voice, courage, and ability to succeed in the crazy complicated world of adulthood.
