Catherine Newman's "Sandwich" serves up a perfect blend of humor and heart, capturing the essence of a family's cherished annual getaway to Cape Cod. In this delightful read, we meet Nick and Rocky, parents in their 50s adjusting to their quieter home as early nesters, alongside their young adult children, Jamie and Willa, and Jamie's girlfriend Maya. The family dynamics, explored through a week of vacation, are both relatable and engaging. Newman's portrayal of Rocky's journey through womanhood adds depth and a touch of realism that resonates well beyond the pages, addressing the complexities of aging with a candid and humorous lens. "Sandwich" is more than just a family vacation story; it's a snapshot of life's transitional moments, beautifully told through the lens of everyday adventures and the bonds that hold us together. A fun, heartwarming read that I highly recommend!
