INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

“Sandwich is joy in book form. I laughed continuously, except for the parts that made me cry. Catherine Newman does a miraculous job reminding us of all the wonder there is to be found in life."—Ann Patchett, New York Times bestselling author of Tom Lake

“If you like my novels, you will love love love this . . . . I stand in awe, it’s just perfect.”—Elin Hilderbrand, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Swan Song

From the beloved author of We All Want Impossible Things comes a moving, hilarious story of a family summer vacation filled with secrets, meals, and learning to let go.

For the past two decades, Rocky has eagerly anticipated her family’s annual retreat to Cape Cod. Their modest beach-town rental has been the backdrop for sweet memories, sunny days, delicious meals, and all kinds of messes: emotional, marital, and—thanks to the cottage’s ancient plumbing—septic as well.

This year’s vacation, with Rocky caught between her half-grown kids and fully aging parents, promises to be as delightful as summers past—except for Rocky’s hormonal bouts of rage and melancholy. (Hello, menopause!) Her body is changing—her life is, too. Then, a series of events sends Rocky back into the past, reliving both the tenderness and sorrow of a handful of long-ago summers.

In this precious week, everything is in balance; everything is in flux. When Rocky confronts her family’s history and future, she must accept that she can no longer hide her secrets from the people she loves.
