This is a book about motherhood, menopause, and cape cod. It takes place over the course of a family’s annual vacation to Sandwich, a town on the cape. It centers on a family: mom and dad, their two adult kids, the kids’ girlfriends, and the mom’s elderly parents. As they venture to and from the beach, we get snippets of their relationships: the anger of menopause directed from wife to husband, the passing down of anxiety from mother to daughter, a pregnant 24 year old looking for advice, and more. I enjoy this type of family centered lit fic and enjoyed the audiobook.
