Chapter 10 Summary

Jane and Dan arrive in New York. While waiting for Dan’s brother Aidan to pick them up, Jane realizes she and Dan are wearing nearly identical outfits. Aidan arrives, and Jane is shocked to discover that he and Dan are twins. She texts Clem updates on their drive to Oak Shore. Meanwhile, Dan gives an oral tour, telling Jane about the surrounding farmland. Finally, they arrive at Dan’s parents, Maureen and Cormack Finnegan, home. Maureen welcomes Jane, immediately assuming she and Dan are dating. Jane and Dan explain that they’re colleagues, in town for work.


Inside, Jane meets Dan’s other brothers, Brian, Finn, and Connor, as well as their partners and children. She’s overwhelmed by the big family and idyllic home. Everyone settles in, remarking on how long it’s been since Dan visited from LA and since he’s brought a girl home.


Over dinner, the family discusses Maureen and Cormack’s upcoming anniversary party and the music festival Jack Quinlan is in town for. The Finnegans also ask about Jane and Dan’s relationship and Jane’s background. Convinced she’ll never see them again, Jane reveals that she was Janey Jakes on Pop Rocks. The Finnegan brothers are shocked and delighted, admitting they secretly loved the show growing up.
