She can do anything . . . just not everything.

Sasha has had it. She cannot bring herself to respond to another inane, urgent (but obviously not at all urgent) email or participate in the corporate employee joyfulness program. She hasnt seen her friends in months. Sex Seems like a lot of effort. Even cooking dinner takes far too much planning. Sasha has hit a wall.

Armed with good intentions to drink kale smoothies, try yoga, and find peace, she heads to the seaside resort she loved as a child. But its the off season, the hotel is in a dilapidated shambles, and she has to share the beach with the only other occupant: a grumpy guy named Finn, who seems as stressed as Sasha. How can she commune with nature when hes sitting on her favorite rock, watching her Nor can they agree on how best to alleviate their burnout (Sasha: manifesting, wild swimming; Finn: drinking whisky, getting pizza delivered to the beach).

When curious messages, seemingly addressed to Sasha and Finn, begin to appear on the beach, the two are forced to talkabout everything. How did they get so burned out Can either of them remember something they used to love (Answer: surfing!) And the question they try and fail to ignore: what does the energy between themflaring even in the face of their bone-deep exhaustionsignify

Praise for the work of Sophie Kinsella

I love the opportunity to escape with a Sophie Kinsella book.#1 New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult

Kinsellas long career in the rom-com is indicative of the kind of stories she truly wants to put out into the world: those that feature people like you... flawed heroines who make the best out of the wild and wacky journeys we all go throughat work, with our families, in love and in life.Bustle

Kinsella has a genuine gift for comic writing.The Boston Globe

A lightandeasy read . . . perfect for a summer day. The relationships growth and the novels nostalgic small-town vibe recall Emily Henrys Book Lovers.Library Journal
