During her family’s annual Cape Cod vacation, Rocky finds herself caught between her grown children and aging parents while navigating the emotional turbulence of midlife. A familiar week of beach days, shared meals, and family traditions becomes an unexpectedly revealing exploration of motherhood, marriage, secrets, and letting go.

An instant New York Times bestseller praised by Ann Patchett and Elin Hilderbrand, this short novel combines candid humor with remarkable tenderness. I recommend it for its honest portrayal of family life and its ability to make the ordinary moments of loving people feel both hilarious and profoundly meaningful.
