From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Weiner comes a warmhearted and empowering
new novel about love family friendship secrets and a life-changing journey.
Thirty-three-year-old Abby Stern has made it to a happy place. True she still has gig jobs
instead of a career and the apartment where she's lived since college still looks like she's
just moved in. But she's got good friends her bike and her bicycling club in Philadelphia.
She's at peace with her plus-size body-at least most of the time-and she's on track to marry
Mark Medoff her childhood sweetheart a man she met at the weight-loss camp that her
perpetually dieting mother forced her to attend. Fifteen years after her final summer at Camp
Golden Hills when Abby reconnects with a half-his-size Mark it feels like the happy ending
she's always wanted. Yet Abby can't escape the feeling that something isn't right...or the
memories of one thrilling night she spent with a man named Sebastian two years previously. When
Abby gets a last-minute invitation to lead a cycling trip from NYC to Niagara Falls she's
happy to have time away from Mark a chance to reflect and make up her mind. But things get
complicated fast. First Abby spots a familiar face in the group-Sebastian the one-night stand
she thought she'd never see again. Sebastian is a serial dater who lives a hundred miles away.
In spite of their undeniable chemistry Abby is determined to keep her distance. Then there's a
surprise last-minute addition to the trip: her mother Eileen the woman Abby blames for a
lifetime of body shaming and insecurities she's still trying to undo. Over two weeks and more
than seven hundred miles strangers become friends hidden truths come to light a teenage girl
with a secret unites the riders in unexpected ways...and Abby is forced to reconsider
everything she believes about herself her mother and the nature of love.
