Wasp's Nest

By Kat Stoddard

A modern retelling of The Philadelphia Story, Wasp's Nest is a witty, gripping love triangle unfolding over the course of seven chaotic days at a Cape Cod wedding

Tess wants nothing more than for her upcoming society wedding to overshadow the failure of her first marriage. Her fianc Warren, a steady soon-to-be state senator, is nothing like her first husband. Tess's relationship with working-class artist Peter was a passionate crash-and-burn, and a chapter of her life that she's ready to forget.

Peter hasn't seen Tess in five years, so he's shocked to receive an invitation to her wedding. But he's moved on too, and it wouldn't hurt to prove it by showing up with a handsome younger man as his plus-one. Mitch, an aspiring writer, is intrigued by Peter and jumps at the chance to pry into the lives of his Waspy ex-in-laws. What he's not bargained for is developing serious feelings for both Peter and Peter's ex--Tess, the bride. But Peter and Tess have complex desires of their own, and Mitch is dangerously close to uncovering them.

Wasp's Nest is a fast-paced, humorous, and heartfelt exploration of the shape of our affections that proves real love triangles connect on all sides.
