Blyth’s Nilsen and Bader’s Wright are as opposite as it gets, but they’ve been best friends for ten years, taking a summer vacation together every year to a place they’ve never been. The rom com employs the friends to lovers trope when the pair can’t ignore feelings they have for each other any longer, putting their friendship to the test.
the film was directed by Brett Haley (Hearts Beat Loud, All The Bright Places), and the script was written by Yulin Kuang, Amos Vernon & Nunzio Randazzo. In association with Harper Collins Publishers, the film is produced by Temple Hill’s Wyck Godfrey, Marty Bowen and Isaac Klausner and 3000 Pictures.
