"I tore through this novel on a New England beach this summer, which felt appropriate since the story unfolds on Cape Cod. It’s about a middle-aged woman facing a choice: stay with the husband she loves, or leave him and embark on an entirely different life with her childhood sweetheart, the only man who knows her deepest secrets. The pages drip with longing and desire. And they pose an intriguing question: How do we know if we’re living the life we were meant to lead? If you’re looking for a beach read – one you can’t put down but that also makes you think – this is a great choice."
