"Fun and sexy." ―People Magazine "Paige Harbison is one of the funniest writers working today." ―Bustle A fresh take on Groundhog Day meets the magical escapism of One Italian Summ er in this heartfelt and hilarious novel following a friend group so damaged that only a funeral could bring them back together. When Babe--the complicated, magnetic matriarch of their teenage summers--dies, four estranged friends return to sleepy Mercy Island, a storm-swept stretch of coastal Georgia, summoned by the reading of her will. Didion arrives at the timeworn pink house to find the friends she never thought she'd see again--along with the tensions, attractions, and unfinished business that once bound them together and broke them apart. What should be a brief weekend of small talk quickly unravels when they wake up and discover...it's Saturday. Again. And again. And again. Trapped in a time loop with no end and no instructions, they're forced to confront the betrayals, breakups, and buried truths that shattered them all those years ago. Because maybe, just maybe, an endless weekend is exactly what they all need to save their own lives. Show more
