Description
For Nicole and Jamie Maguire, their parents have always seemed like the perfect suburban couple—until a sudden announcement of separation fractures the family’s carefully maintained calm. Set in 2018 and unfolding over a year of lunches, dinners, and drinks, the novel follows each sibling as they wrestle with love, disillusionment, and the stories they’ve been telling themselves about who they are and what they want. With sharp, emotionally astute insight, it explores family dynamics, adult longing, and the quiet damage of secrets—showing how old conflicts resurface when the façade finally cracks. Claire Powell’s assured, beautifully observed debut blends humor with tenderness, delivering a gripping yet humane portrait of growing up both individually and together.
