Loved this story of a family that spends a week of vacation on the east coast. Women in their 40s and older can resonate with the main character.

I love this book so much! I have already raved about it to my coworkers at the bookstore. This book will be the perfect laugh-out-loud book for any woman in the stage of life with grown up kids and/or going through any of the crazy stages of menopause! We can all relate to the myriad of emotions while watching our kids starting out in their adult lives- pride in their successes, worry about their safety and happiness, and deep love for them. There is also the time spent with our aging parents which is both beautiful and exhausting. There is such a sense of appreciation for the time we get to spend with our kids and parents in those stages of life. All that is happening while our own hormones are wreaking havoc on our emotions and everything is changing in our bodies and.... sometimes you just have to LAUGH about it. And I laughed so much including at 4AM while reading this book!

An excellent read, humorous and deep at the same time. Highly recommended for readers of Nora Ephron.
