A GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERWreck is a delight. What an absolute joy to be reunited with Rocky and her family, the characters we all fell in love with in Sandwich. Newman's prose is laugh-out-loud funny. It's also profound. I couldn't stop reading, even though I didn't want it to end.-J. Courtney Sullivan, New York Times bestselling author of The CliffsWreck is the kind of book that pulls up a chair, pours the wine, and dives deep-equal parts hilarious, sharp, and achingly sincere. I didnt just read it-I felt known by it. A luminous, laugh-out-loud triumph.-Alison Espach, New York Times bestselling author of The Wedding PeopleThe acclaimed bestselling author of Sandwich is back with a wonderful novel, full of laughter and heart, about marriage, family, and what happens when life doesnt go as planned.If you loved Rocky and her family on vacation on Cape Cod, wait until you join them at home two years later. (And if this is your first meeting with this crew, get ready to laugh and cry-and relate.)Rocky, still anxious, nostalgic, and funny, is living in Western Massachusetts with her husband Nick and their daughter Willa, who's back home after college. Their son, Jamie, has taken a new job in New York, and Mort, Rockys widowed father, has moved in.It all couldnt be more ridiculously normal . . . until Rocky finds herself obsessed with a local accident that only tangentially affects them-and with a medical condition that, she hopes, wont affect them at all.With her signature wit and wisdom, Catherine Newman explores the hidden rules of family, the heavy weight of uncertainty, and the gnarly fact that people-no matter how much you love them-are not always exactly who you want them to be.
