Some books arrive quietly and then refuse to leave you. This is one of them.
A runaway New York Times bestseller and a Today Show #ReadWithJenna Book Club Pick, this novel also earned its place as a New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice and a #1 Indie Next Pick. It was named a Best Book of the Year by The Guardian, Time, Elle, Real Simple, Glamour, and plenty more. In other words? A shelf-talker we’ve been happily pressing into hands all season.
Here’s the setup. It’s a beautiful day in Newport, Rhode Island, when Phoebe Stone arrives at the grand Cornwall Inn in a green dress and gold heels, alone, without a single bag. Everyone assumes she’s one of the wedding people. She isn’t. Phoebe is the only guest who isn’t here to celebrate anyone. She’s here at rock bottom, determined to have one last decadent splurge on herself.
The bride has planned for every possible disaster except this one. And yet, somehow, these two women can’t stop confiding in each other.
By turns absurdly funny and devastatingly tender, this is a story about the winding, unexpected paths that lead us somewhere new, and the chance encounters that reroute an entire life.
It’s the perfect companion for a rainy afternoon by the cove, when the sea air is salty and you’ve got nowhere else to be. Pour the tea. Settle into the armchair. Linger a while.
Come find it on our fiction shelves, or let us wrap one up for you. We’d love to help.
