This book left a bad taste in my mouth. Set during a Cape Cod family vacation, it aims to explore midlife changes and family dynamics, but misses the mark spectacularly. The main character, Rocky, is insufferable - a hypocritical narcissist who turns menopause into a horror show. Her refusal to seek treatment, despite past willingness, makes everyone miserable. The supporting cast is equally frustrating, ranging from passive-aggressive to entitled. Only the grandparents escape my ire. Despite high recommendations, this novel struck all the wrong chords. It's a shame, as the premise had potential. I needed a palate cleanser after this one. Sometimes, highly recommended books just don't click.
