About this listen

A tender and quirky novel about the romantic choices we make from the author of the New York Times best seller and Reese's Book Club Pick The Last Thing He Told Me

Emmy Everett is reluctantly heading home to New York for her brother Josh’s wedding. She has spent the last three years in a fishing town in Rhode Island, and, having little to show for it, she doesn’t particularly want to answer the questions she is sure to face about her (ex-) fiance, her (questionable) career choices, her (unknown) future. But she is still shocked when her typically resolute brother Josh confesses he is having doubts about his imminent marriage - and he asks Emmy the hardest question of all: What do I do now?

With 72 hours until the wedding, Emmy embarks with Josh on a road trip to help him find a mystery woman, and to answer some long overdue questions about who he wants to spend his life with. It isn’t only Josh who has some lessons to learn. Along the way, Emmy discovers some undeniable truths about what she wants from her own life, and she begins to realize that perhaps her own happy ending is not as far away as it seems.

Critic reviews

"Endearingly quirky...[a] charming, offbeat debut...that winningly explores the romantic choices we make." (USA Today)

"Such a satisfying read.... The relationships among her cast are complicated, fraught and tender. Her story reads sweet but real." (The Washington Post)

"Impossible to put down...lyrical, witty and honest." (Jane Magazine)

Laura Dave has again created a multilayered story about a flawed and relatable female character. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Another great story

Good story from start to finish. Rebecca Lohman has a way of making a good story great. I love the mom in this book, she truly let her children grow with small nudges here and there. She gave them the space to figure out who they were, and in return, they supported each other in the same way.

Supporting the ones you love, even when you don’t understand what you are supporting.

I loved the family interactions and the message that if you spend your life wanting something that is not possible you will miss all the great things that ARE.

Good message

It was a bit of a slow start for me. But I really enjoy the book. I would highly encourage you to hang in there and continue to read. It’s worth it! I’ve read many Laura Dave’s books and they never disappoint me

So good!

Kept waiting for the story’s tension. Also the reader’s presentation was flat. Clearly she was reading and not performing.

Stream of consciousness
