This book is getting a lot of attention and many five star reviews, so I had high hopes going into this story.
I was expecting a well rounded story about a family’s annual vacation to Cape Cod and a touching look at the interactions between the members and generations of this family. Unfortunately, it concentrated more on the topic of women’s reproductive health: pregnancy, miscarriage, abortion, and menopause.
It had some lighter moments, but I felt that the MC was way too annoying and narcissistic (even her family said she was).
Overall, I liked it. I just didn’t love it and would hesitate to recommend it.

I'm on the fence as I've seen some conflicting reviews. Glad that you still at min. liked it, Debbie! Nice review.

Excellent review, Debbie. I started this one and was disappointed by the tone as you noted. Decided to DNF.
I think this is definitely an audio book. The narrator was amazing.

I agree completely about how the focus kept pushing away from the family. I wanted to like it so much more than I did.

Hope your next book will be a 5⭐ read!
