If you haven’t guessed yet, I love fall and book tags, so when I see a new one, there’s no way I’m not doing it, as annoying as it might be to my readers. It’s just easier on my hands and a way to showcase some great books and bloggers. The original creator is Loch’s Library, who is also a new BookTuber to me. The book tag is called Fall into Books.

If you loved Rocky and her family on vacation on Cape Cod, wait until you join them at home two years later. (And if this is your first meeting with this crew, get ready to laugh and cry—and relate.)

It all couldn’t be more ridiculously normal . . . until Rocky finds herself obsessed with a local accident that only tangentially affects them—and with a medical condition that, she hopes, won’t affect them at all.
With her signature wit and wisdom, Catherine Newman explores the hidden rules of family, the heavy weight of uncertainty, and the gnarly fact that people—no matter how much you love them—are not always exactly who you want them to be.
