Once high-flying New Yorkers, a tight-knit group of friends now find themselves adrift in the monotony of stay-at-home life. But when a new series of events shakes their carefully curated routines, their unraveling domesticity reveals the challenges of ambition, identity, and reinvention in the modern age. With wit and insight, Meg Wolitzer explores the shifting tides of friendship, family, and personal fulfillment.
