From the NYT bestselling author of WE ALL WANT IMPOSSIBLE THINGS and SANDWICH. One family, one year and a novel that reminds us what it means to be beautifully, messily human. Rocky, Nick, Willa and Jamie. A normal loving, anxious, messy, relatable, family. Rocky has her own her way of processing disasters: 1. This could happen to us. 2. This couldn’t happen to us. And then there’s a secret third column: ‘This could happen to us unless I am very careful/ superstitious/ grateful…’ So when a former classmate of Jamie’s dies in a seemingly random accident, Rocky becomes obsessed. She's also developed a niggling medical condition that won't go away. On the surface, she is still living her best life as the irreverent, funny, unpredictable beating heart of her family. Her father is his unique, adorable self; Willa is prone to bouts of existential angst whilst berating the fact that her mother has zero filter; Nick is steady, logical, sometimes infuriating. But if accidents can happen – and they do – is it safe to love anyone? Laugh out loud funny and deeply emotional, WRECK follows Rocky and her family through one rollercoaster year as they share the unpredictable, beautiful messiness of life. Published October 28, 2025
