"This is a really brave book, all about how far we can fall and still pick ourselves back up again."
It forges into territory where the romance genre rarely goes: its main character, Phoebe, is planning to die by suicide at the start of the novel. The author doesn’t shy away from discussing Phoebe’s depression, and the darkness in this novel is what makes it so original, and so brilliant; we feel real joy and connection as Phoebe manages to find her inner strength again.
The love story is very much there, and it is central enough that I would still call this a romance, but it’s perhaps equally a book about loving and caring for yourself. It’s also very, very funny − there is a dark, wry humour to it that really sets it apart.
It's a beautiful day in Newport, Rhode Island, when Phoebe Stone arrives at a grand beachside hotel wearing her best dress and least comfortable shoes. Immediately she is mistaken for one of the wedding people - but she's actually the only guest at the Cornwall Inn who isn't here for the big event.
