This book was the perfect combination of family drama and beach read! I know they say not to judge a book by its cover, but this book took me by surprise. It covered many more sensitive topics than I expected. Teens and social media, parenting, complicated family relationships, mental health- it was all there. The writing was light and easy to follow and it was a hard one to put down.

When a summer family gathering ends up as a tragic accident, all the relationships, perceived images, and unspoken truths in the family come out. As details about what really happened at the family gathering come to light, the truth about what matters most becomes clear. I loved this family drama and highly recommend it!

A sweet and poignant story about what it means to be a family. The lives of the members of one family intersect and crash into each other at times, but love is always what rules regardless of hurt feelings and betrayals. Told from various points of view, the characters are diverse and drove the plot seamlessly. Perfect summer read.
