Weiner's many fans and could be just the absorbing take-me-away
read so many of us need right now." --USA Today

friendships, big time. This summer-lovin' novel tells the story of

about to get married. The twists and turns to come can be so
#relatable, and really tug at your heartstrings. It's worth the

not to mention the beautiful mansions and charming dunes of Cape
Cod." --Good Housekeeping
"Weiner is beloved for her rich, heartfelt stories--and her new
book is no exception." --Women's World
"Part dissection of female friendships, part murder mystery, part
social-media tutorial, part love story and--the best of them
all--part portrait of an overweight, under-confident striver.
Daphne is an endearing creation: funny, plucky, willing to
acknowledge certain critical lapses in judgment and eminently
worthy of the love that she is certain will never come her way."
--The Wall Street Journal
"Everything you'd hope to find in a beach read: complicated female
friendships, unhappy rich people, a hardworking heroine with an eye

wedding on Cape Cod." --The Philadelphia Inquirer

for what it is, rather than what it could look like on Instagram."
