      ""Lillie knew the empty nest would be hard when her son left for college, but she had no idea of the full extent to which her world would come crashing down--until her husband announced out of the blue that he was in love with another woman, and he would be leaving, too. Besides the fact that this announcement was a complete surprise (to say the least), what surprised her most was that she wasn't...sad. She was furious. What was she supposed to do now? She surely couldn't look for help from her mother, who had left the family on Cape Cod to live with her new wife when Lillie was still a little girl. Lillie's sister, Hannah, had abandoned her to live a more interesting life and wouldn't be any help now either. Her father was usually her rock, but recently, he'd betrayed her by taking Ben Harriman under his wing--the man who almost ruined her life in a car accident when she was in high school. Her dad had put the guy up in the family guesthouse, which was certainly no help to Lillie at all. And she sure as hell wasn't going to get any help from Melissa, her husband's gold-digging new wife (or her oddly lost teenage niece, Ophelia). So, who was going to help her? Actually, maybe all of them. And maybe she would save them, too"--

      Sometimes you have to break a family to fix it. From New York Times bestselling author Kristan Higgins, a new novel examining a family at the breaking point—in all its messy, difficult, wonderful complexity. The Frosts are a typical American family. Barb and John, married almost fifty years, are testy and bored with each other...who could blame them after all this time? At least they have their daughters-- Barb's favorite, the perfect, brilliant Juliet; and John's darling, the free-spirited Sadie. The girls themselves couldn't be more different, but at least they got along, more or less. It was fine. It was enough. Until the day John had a stroke, and their house of cards came tumbling down. Now Sadie has to put her career as a teacher and struggling artist in New York on hold to come back and care for her beloved dad--and face the love of her life, whose heart she broke, and who broke hers. Now Juliet has to wonder if people will notice that despite her perfect career as a successful architect, her perfect marriage to a charming Brit, and her two perfect daughters, she's spending an increasing amount of time in the closet having panic attacks. And now Barb and John will finally have to face what's been going on in their marriage all along. From the author of Good Luck with That and Life and Other Inconveniences comes a new novel of heartbreaking truths and hilarious honesty about what family really means.

      Potkaly se jako dospívající v táboře pro děti s obezitou a staly se nejlepšími kamarádkami. Emerson, Georgii a Marley spojil jeden velký celoživotní problém – boj s nadváhou. Uplynulo šestnáct let a Emerson umírá. Vzdala svůj zápas s přebytečnými kily. Jejím posledním přáním bylo, aby její nejlepší kamarádky zvítězily nad strachem, který je provází již od jejich útlého dětství. Co to ale znamená? Na to musí každá z nich přijít sama. Georgia se učí, že nemusí žít podle představ své matky a bratra a může přijmout lásku svého bývalého manžela. Marley se stále vyrovnává se smrtí své sestry-dvojčete a poznává, že i ona má šanci prožít romantický vztah. S tím, jak se Georgia a Marley stávají silnějšími, zdá se poslední odkaz jejich kamarádky mnohem jasnější: více než cokoli jiného na světě si přála, aby se její kamarádky naučily milovat především samy sebe.
