Many thanks to NetGalley and Simon & Schuster Atria Books for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest novel by Jennifer Weiner - 4.5 stars!
When Sarah's stepdaughter, Rudy, announces that she and her pandemic boyfriend, Gabe, are engaged and going to be married in months, she is shocked. Rudy has already spoken to Sarah's mother, Veronica, and the wedding will be held at her summer home on the Cape. But the wedding is only the beginning of the messy lives that will come to light in this complicated family, because everyone has secrets.
Another book you must have in your beach bag to start the summer reading season, this family saga is full of characters exploring their lives and choices. I loved how it was set at the end of the pandemic and showed how all that forced time together brought out the best and worst of us and how we viewed our housemates. This book explores that complicated relationship between mothers and daughters, and motherhood in general. It's also very enlightening and true how we all view the past through different colored lenses. It's about second chances, forgiving, grief and love - all those things that make up a family (even a house!).
