Except this summer, things feel a little different... Stella´s father is nowhere to be seen, yet her mother - in suspiciously new Per Una jeans - seems curiously unfazed by his absence, and more eager to talk about her mysterious dog-walking buddy Mitch. Stella´s sister Amy has returned home with a new boyfriend she can barely stand and a secret to hide, and Stella´s husband Jack has something he wants to get off his chest too.
