Joined by her friends, Livia vows to forgo real-life romance for the summer. But when a housesitting group arrives at the estate, Livia is reunited with Ezra Keats (Apa), her college crush who she’s never been able to forget.
As Labor Day approaches, Livia must grapple with her feelings for Ezra, a looming novel deadline and a shocking discovery made at the estate.
The rom-com’s star-studded cast also features Ego Nwodim, Milly Alcock, Gavin Casalegno, Alexandra Shipp and Peri Gilpin.
Hawke previously narrated the audiobook for Joan Didion’s essay collection Slouching Toward Bethlehem. The Stranger Things actress also lent her voice to the audio versions of James Ellroy’s novel American Tabloid and Alexi Pappas’ memoir Bravey.
