      Když čtveřice kamarádek v roce 1997 končila střední školu, každá z nich měla odvážné představy o úspěšné budoucnosti. V ročence byla jedna z nich označena za budoucí prezidentku, od druhé se očekávalo, že přijde na to, jak vyhrát boj s rakovinou, třetí by měla jednou mít michelinskou restauraci a čtvrtá se měla objevit mezi nejbohatšími Američany v žebříčku Forbes 400. Když se o pětadvacet let později sejdou na školním srazu, zjistí, že ani jedna z nich není v životě spokojená. Ale není ve třiačtyřiceti ještě brzo rezignovat a nepokusit se se životem něco udělat?

      A Good Morning America Buzz Pick A Can’t-Miss Beach Read For Summer 2021 from The Skimm A Best Beach Read of 2021 from Bustle A Best Summer Read of 2021 from PopSugar A family reunion for the ages when two clans convene for the summer at their beloved getaway in the Catskills—perfect for fans of Dirty Dancing and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel—from the acclaimed author of The Floating Feldmans. In its heyday, The Golden Hotel was the crown jewel of the hotter-than-hot Catskills vacation scene. For more than sixty years, the Goldman and Weingold families – best friends and business partners – have presided over this glamorous resort which served as a second home for well-heeled guests and celebrities. But the Catskills are not what they used to be – and neither is the relationship between the Goldmans and the Weingolds. As the facilities and management begin to fall apart, a tempting offer to sell forces the two families together again to make a heart-wrenching decision. Can they save their beloved Golden or is it too late? Long-buried secrets emerge, new dramas and financial scandal erupt, and everyone from the traditional grandparents to the millennial grandchildren wants a say in the hotel’s future. Business and pleasure clash in this fast-paced, hilarious, nostalgia-filled story, where the hotel owners rediscover the magic of a bygone era of nonstop fun even as they grapple with what may be their last resort.

      A family vacation dredges up a boatload of trouble in the next witty, insightful novel from the acclaimed author of The Intermission. "An irresistible drama filled with humor and heart-tugging emotion about family and what it means to belong. I absolutely adore Friedland's warm, witty writing!"—Emily Giffin, #1 New York Times bestselling author of All We Ever Wanted Sink or swim. Or at least that's what Annette Feldman tells herself when she books a cruise for her entire family. It's been over a decade since the Feldman clan has spent more than twenty-four hours under the same roof, but Annette is determined to celebrate her seventieth birthday the right way. Just this once, they are going to behave like an actual family. Too bad her kids didn't get the memo. Between the troublesome family secrets, old sibling rivalries, and her two teenage grandkids, Annette's birthday vacation is looking more and more like the perfect storm. Adrift together on the open seas, the Feldmans will each face the truths they've been ignoring—and learn that the people they once thought most likely to sink them are actually the ones who help them stay afloat.

      A HelloGiggles Best New Release A PopSugar Best Book of July A BookBub Editor's Pick A SheReads Best Book of Summer A GoodReads Buzzy New Release A Mind Body Green Best Book of July A PureWow Best Beach Read of Summer 2018 "An effortless page-turner, almost a movie treatment more than a novel...intelligent commercial fiction."--The Wall Street Journal After five years of marriage, Cass Coyne has lost some of her boundless confidence. Her husband sees their ups and downs as normal challenges in a healthy relationship, but Cass lies awake at night wondering what you do when you need a break from your marriage? It comes as a shock to Jonathan when Cass persuades him to try a marital "intermission": a six-month separation during which they'll decide if the comfortable life they've built together is still the one they both want. Six months apart from their beloved dog is a different story, so they agree to meet once a month for a custody exchange. Time apart on opposite coasts makes the Coynes realize their problems may lie deeper than sweaty gym socks left on the bed and an empty container of milk put back in the fridge. Can a marriage experiment go too far for two people who once thought they had it all figured out?

      Evie Rosen is het zat. Ze is klaar met de partners van het advocatenkantoor waar ze werkt die haar bij nacht en ontij e-mailen. Van de gedachte aan wéér een online date breekt het zweet haar uit. Ze heeft het helemaal gehad met alle grappige hashtags en ontelbare selfies. Dus wanneer ze wordt ontslagen én iemand via Facebook haar hart breekt, is het wat Evie betreft de hoogste tijd om haar smartphone voorgoed af te schrijven. Haar angst om te veranderen in een wereldvreemde misantroop blijkt ongegrond. Want haar leven is ineens echt - met echte gesprekken, echte emoties en echte vriendschappen. En echte liefde? Die vindt ze ook! Maar het belangrijkste is: als je je telefoon op stil zet, staat niet je hele leven stil.
