批評家のレビュー
“The perfect...read for anyone who craves a smart story with a happy ending.” (Oprah Daily)
“A sizzling summer read.... Whip-smart and perfectly capturing that delicate balance between your younger and adult selves, Dorey-Stein's book will have you - gasp! - craving a reunion with your high school pals.” (EOnline)
"Following up on the success to her Obama White House memoir From the Corner of the Oval, Beck Dorey-Stein is turning to fiction with her debut novel, filled with similar coming-of-age themes and circumstances. Protagonist Kate Campbell returns to her New England hometown for the summer, finding she needs to reevaluate a few things in her life before she is ready to move back to Manhattan. Of course, that’s if she moves back, after diving deep into some of the relationships and secrets that consume her seaside community.” (Fortune)
あらすじ・解説
“[A] witty, heartfelt debut novel about a belated coming-of-age.” (The New York Times Book Review, Editors’ Choice)
Old friends discover how much has changed (and how much has stayed the same) when they reunite in their seaside hometown for one unforgettable summer - from The New York Times best-selling author of From the Corner of the Oval
When Kate Campbell’s life in Manhattan suddenly implodes, she is forced to return to Sea Point, the small town full of quirky locals, quaint bungalows, and beautiful beaches where she grew up. She knows she won’t be home for long; she’s got every intention (and a three-point plan) to win back everything she thinks she’s lost.
Meanwhile, Miles Hoffman - aka “The Prince of Sea Point” - has also returned home to prove to his mother that he’s capable of taking over the family business, and he’s promised to help his childhood best friend, Ziggy Miller, with his own financial struggles at the same time. Kate, Miles, and Ziggy converge in Sea Point as the town faces an identity crisis when a local developer tries to cash in on its potential. The summer swells, and white lies and long-buried secrets prove as corrosive as the salt air, threatening to forever erode not only the bonds between the three friends but also the landscape of the beachside community they call home.
Full of heart and humor - and laced with biting wit - Rock the Boat proves that even when you know all the back roads, there aren’t any shortcuts to growing up.
