Just as thirty-something Abby was trying on her wedding
dress, she got news that her fiancé didn't want to be with
her anymore...through Facebook. Turning to ice cream, Abby
mopes until her best friend, Grace, comes up with a plan to
get her back on track. The two head to Newport for some
beach and sun. While Abby makes friends and goes on
interesting, if not always successful dates, she will have
to figure out what it means to be single again and how
perfectly great that can be.
ON THE ROCKS by Erin Duffy is the perfect beach read full of
summer, sand, and friendship. Abby is a funny, heart-warming
character whose journey is completely relatable as she tries
to find her own footing again after a big change. I love
some of the eccentric and kind secondary characters around
her, even her mother who pushes attempts at reclaiming her
youth to new degrees.
Though there are hilarious scenes of Abby going on different
dates, friendship and personal growth are the focuses of the
story. Abby has to figure out that being on your own doesn't
always mean literally being on your own when you have great
friends. The interactions between her and Grace are
realistic and will easily remind you of times with your own
best friend. I also adore Bobby and the closeness Abby finds
with him. Plus, they have some of the wittiest dialogue in
the whole book.
If you're looking for a great summer read or an excellent
women's fiction story, ON THE ROCKS is a perfect pick. Erin
Duffy's smooth writing will make you feel right at home with
these characters, and you'll find yourself smiling nearly
constantly will you read.
