Mysterious inheritance? Forced marriage? True love? Halloween-themed everything? It's all right here. Tilly is a melodramatic albeit fun-loving spirit who is ready to make the annual trip home to Salem, MA for her parent's October-long get together. She brings along her best friend and cousin, Nora, who helps keep her sane while Tilly balances the pressure of her parents, a narcissistic ex, and her old high school bestie turned into an irresistibly gorgeous man who Tilly realizes - she might actually be in love with him. Of course, Tilly's parents need her to marry by October 31st to receive a mysterious inheritance and who better to marry than James? At least that's what Tilly's mom believes. But Tilly is certain-a life with James for some unknown inheritance and two happy parents isn't worth the sacrifice. But Michael? Michael might be worth it-worth facing her parents and her ex. And worth her pining over. Except, Michael isn't so sure he is meant for Tilly. Will the pair realize they are in love before Tilly marries James?
