In the summer of 1967, the Levitsky family convenes for a long weekend at their home in the suburbs―an idyllic holiday for the perfect family.

But Nora has always known better.

Growing up, she learned to tiptoe around her mother Lillian’s explosive temper. Her father did the same. Nora’s sole confidante was their housekeeper, Clara, and their bond has only strengthened through the years. In fact, it’s all that’s keeping Nora together for her homecoming. But under that lifetime of pressure, the facade is beginning to splinter.

Over the next four days, everyone’s secrets are at risk. None more so than what Nora really wants for her life, how Clara has helped her get it…and how they’ve orchestrated it all behind Lillian’s back.

As the family grapples with the complex ties that bind them, Nora discovers that facing the truth―however painful―might be the key to finally breaking free. This weekend, Nora’s bravest act may be in knowing which bonds to cherish and which ones need to be gently set aside, making room for a future of her own choosing.

My Thoughts:

This was a bit of a random pick for me, something about the blurb drew me into reading this book and I am so glad I did. I enjoyed it immensely. Set in the summer of 1960’s, it is all about the Levitsky family and how the whole family is brought together for a long weekend. Each family member has something going on in their life and it was interesting to piece together what would happen. Secrets, lies, betrayals all happen between this family. It was an interesting concept to a story and one that really worked. I loved it and the ending was so good.

I received an ARC copy of this book for an honest review.
