Więcej o książce

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Weiner comes a warmhearted and empowering novel about love, family, friendship, and the transformative power of travel. Thirty-four-year-old Abby Stern is content, with good friends, a bike club in Philadelphia, and a plan to marry her childhood sweetheart, Mark. Their connection began at a weight-loss camp, and fifteen years later, Abby is surprised to find Mark still adores her. However, lingering memories of a passionate night with a man named Sebastian two years ago leave her feeling uncertain. When Abby is called to lead a bike trip from New York City to Niagara Falls, she welcomes the chance to reflect away from Mark. But she is taken aback to find Sebastian among the group, complicating her resolve to keep her distance despite their undeniable chemistry. Adding to the tension, Abby's mother, Eileen, whom she blames for years of body shaming, unexpectedly joins the trip. Over two weeks, strangers become confidantes, hidden truths emerge, and a teenage girl with a secret connects the riders in unexpected ways. As Abby navigates her relationships and confronts her past, her beliefs about herself, her mother, and the nature of love are profoundly challenged.
