"Provocative yet gentle, amusing yet wise, relatable yet freeing, this thoughtfully eloquent novel explores a year within the life of a family in the US."
Absolutely glorious! The highs, lows, and all the in-between bits of life soak into the pages of this compelling novel. You can easily read Wreck as a standalone, yet I wholeheartedly recommend starting with the memorable and eloquent LoveReading Star Book Sandwich as this introduces you to Rocky and her family.
Here we follow a year, from life changing events through to the small details that almost don’t matter, yet actually really do because they form an essential part of the whole. I love the way Catherine Newman writes, she pulls and twists and creates a quiet vibrancy within her characters. Each word on the page feels as though it is necessary, and forms an authentic reality.
It felt as though this book was a part of me, and I recognised the thoughts and feelings it evoked even as I explored the unknown. Of course this moves in to join its sister as a LoveReading Star Book, and also a Liz Pick of the Month. Amusing, gentle, and wise, Wreck is beautifully empathetic and considered yet unfettered and freeing, and is highly recommended by our LoveReading team.
A GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK - INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER"Wreck is a delight. What an absolute joy to be reunited with Rocky and her family, the characters we all fell in love with in Sandwich. Newman's prose is laugh-out-loud funny. It's also profound. I couldn't stop reading, even though I didn't want it to end."--J. Courtney Sullivan, New York Times bestselling author of The Cliffs
