About the book: With her newly completed PhD in astronomy in hand, twenty-eight-year-old Grace Porter goes on a girls’ trip to Vegas to celebrate. She is not the kind of person who goes to Vegas and gets drunkenly married to a woman whose name she doesn’t know…until she does exactly that.
This one moment of departure from her stern ex-military father’s plans for her life has Grace wondering why she doesn’t feel more fulfilled from completing her degree. Staggering under the weight of her father’s expectations, a struggling job market and feelings of burnout, Grace flees her home in Portland for a summer in New York with the wife she barely knows.When reality comes crashing in, Grace must face what she’s been running from all along—the fears that make us human, the family scars that need to heal and the longing for connection, especially when navigating the messiness of adulthood.
My thoughts: This is a coming-of-age story about a young woman, Grace, who has always done what she was supposed to do - until she doesn't. This leaves her spinning and searching for a wife that she spent one night with, and a career that is harder to pin down than expected. She has to come to terms with her relationships, both past, and present, in order to find who she is supposed to be.
I liked the characters and the friendships portrayed in this book - not so much the parental ones, but the ones that are found along the way.
