Synopsis: One woman takes the vacation of a lifetime in this poignant and heartwarming story about the threads that hold a family together from #1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery. 

Single mom Robyn Caldwell needs a new plan for her future.  She has always put her family first.  Now, with her kids grown, she yearns for a change. But what can she do when her daughter has become the most demanding bride ever, her son won’t even consider college, her best friend is on the brink of marital disaster and her ex is making a monumentally bad decision that could ruin everything?

Take a vacation, of course. Press reset. When her great-aunt Lillian invites her to Santa Barbara for the summer, Robyn hops on the first plane to sunny California.

But it’s hard to get away when you’re the heart of the family. One by one, everyone she loves follows her across the country. Somehow, their baggage doesn’t feel as heavy in the sun-drenched, mishmash mansion. The more time Robyn spends with free-spirited Lillian, the more possibilities she sees—for dreams, love, family. She can have everything she ever wanted, if only she can muster the courage to take a chance on herself. (Synopsis from Goodreads)

 

My Thoughts: I enjoyed this story. It was just a nice family drama. I liked following it, seeing what was going to happen. I liked getting a glimpse into these characters lives. There is a lot of drama going on here, drama that was really fun to follow. 

This was a fun read. Every so often, I like reading a contemporary, almost soap opera story. It's like I'm looking into a window watching these characters go through stuff. It's a fun time.

Robyn Caldwell has a lot on her plate. She deserves this vacation, but she doesn't get it for long.

This was a book that I could just sit back and enjoy. It was a good time.
