Charlotte loses best friend Minnie to old age and feels life is slipping her by after a rocky childhood and marriage empty of love and ending tragically suddenly.
Charlotte's son Cord is an alcoholic as he deals with being a closeted gay though happily engaged to his love, Giovanni but fearful of his family judging him.
Charlotte's daughter's, Lee a failed actress heading home with a huge life changing secret and failed relationship and Regan a mother wanting to break free of her marriage by setting it up to fail and allow her to break free to be happy.
All they want is to get away but not necessarily together however in coming together their lives come apart and their jigsaw pieces of their lives might just fix into more positive futures with any luck...
This was a great summer read whilst we await the heat to arrive and we can't travel either right now! Referred plenty of drama though I did find the odd chapter ending left roots planted for scenes ahead which didn't materialise so I may have just thought too deeply into those but it doesn't matter as plenty else happens! I liked the aspect of a broken family falling apart to them come back together eventually and try to get on better for the future after realising a few home truths!
Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!
