A New York Times Bestseller and New York Times Notable Book
Some summers change everything. Beck Dorey-Stein—the New York Times bestselling author of From the Corner of the Oval—delivers a witty, heartfelt debut novel about old friends, new beginnings, and the messy, beautiful work of growing up.
When Kate Campbell’s carefully constructed Manhattan life crumbles, she retreats to Sea Point, the quirky seaside town she couldn’t wait to leave behind. She’s armed with a three-point plan to reclaim her old life—but coming home has a way of rewriting your story.
Miles Hoffman, Sea Point’s golden boy, has returned too, determined to prove himself worthy of the family business. His childhood best friend Ziggy is struggling to keep his head above water, financially and otherwise. As the three friends navigate a summer thick with salt air and second chances, their small town faces its own reckoning when a developer threatens to transform Sea Point into something unrecognizable.
White lies surface. Long-buried secrets emerge. And the bonds between friends—like the coastline itself—prove more fragile than anyone imagined.
Perfect for fans of The Vacationers and The Interestings, Rock the Boat is a sharp, tender exploration of friendship, identity, and the communities that shape us. Dorey-Stein reminds us that even when you know every back road by heart, there are no shortcuts to becoming who you’re meant to be.
A story about coming home and finally growing up—one salty, sun-soaked page at a time.
A charming, big-hearted novel about coming home and finding yourself.
Dorey-Stein's debut novel is a witty and heartfelt story about friendship, love, and the places that shape us.
A delightful summer read with depth and heart.
Rock the Boat is a warm, wise, and utterly absorbing novel about the people and places that make us who we are.
