Jennifer Weiner is a reliable author and when I pick up her books, I know I'll get a good tale, an interesting character, and be entertained. The Breakaway is another winner.
Abby Stern is thirty three, comfortable in her plus-size skin, does gig jobs, and has a childhood sweetheart. Good friends, her bike, and a Philadelphia cycling club keep her busy.
cover blurb: 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.
Abby gets a last minute invite to lead a cycling trip from NYC to Niagara Falls - a chance to get away and think about her life. cover blurb - things get complicated fast. Sebastian is on the trip, and her mother Eileen (body shaming past inflictions) shows up.
Over two weeks and seven hundred miles, strangers become friends, hidden truths come to light, a teenage girl unites riders...and Abby is forced to reconsider everything she believes about herself, her mother, and the nature of love.
Hop aboard this bike trip and see what happens.
Hi Joanne - love your thought 'hop aboard the bike and see what happens along the trip' ... not now - but I note the author's name and the story line. Cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of a long bike ride, but my butt may not agree.
