Rezension von Peggy Payne "And this may be the only reason we were put on this earth. To say to each other, I know how you feel. To say, Same. To say, I understand how hard it is to be a parent, a kid." Rachel is a 54 year old menopausal woman sandwiched between her grown children and her elderly parents. As an empty nester, she is navigating life as it comes in all its hormonal glory. Mourning the past and already mourning what can happen in the future, this is an emotional time in her life. This book takes us on vacation to Cape Cod with Rachel, her husband, their children, and her parents. It is a full week of reflecting, loving her family, and making more memories. As a 45 year old perimenopausal empty nester, I saw myself in some of this story. The mood swings, the feelings of love and loss; I think most women have these seasons. This book was relatable for me and an easy read. I wouldn't personally consider it a "beach read," as I've heard it referred to. But I enjoyed it!
