Sandwich is a wonderful, poignant book about a family's annual trip to Cape Cod. This book has everything and I honestly can't see anyone not falling in love with this book. I was laughing throughout the book as I could relate to so much of what was going on. I was also crying at times thinking of some of the things we all have to deal with in our lives. This is my first book by Catherine Newman, but won't be my last. I am a lifelong fan now and look forward to reading more from her.
Rocky aka Rachel has looked forward to her family's trip to Cape Cod all year. It's her favorite time of year as the "kids" who are now young adults come back, her parents join them for a few days, and the week goes by way too fast. Rocky and her husband Nick have been renting the same cottage since the kids were toddlers. It has some issues, but they're familiar with. it, and don't want to change a thing. Rocky is at an age where she's halfway between her adult kids and her parents. She's still missing the kids living at home and she's worried about her parents as their age is showing more than it has before.
As a woman of a similar age to Rocky I could so relate to everything in this book. Rocky wants to control everything, keep her kids safe, keep her parents healthy, and none of us have that ability. This is such a great book. The scene in the cottage bathroom in the beginning kept me laughing for quite awhile. My family rented a place that had similar issues, but we loved it, and kept going back. Sandwich is the perfect summer read and I encourage everyone to read it! I rate Sandwich 5 stars with my highest recommendation. I'd like to thank NetGalley and HarperCollins Publishing for an advanced copy of Sandwich in exchange for a fair review. #Sandwich
