Summary
This summer doesn’t just unearth the past—it threatens to unravel Sabrina’s life completely.
Her alcoholic father is dying, she’s estranged from her family, and she’s only surviving motherhood thanks to bottomless cups of coffee and secret cigarettes. After years of trying to avoid her issues, she finally comes face-to-face with them on a reluctant journey back to Seaside, Massachusetts. And this time, she doesn’t run away.
But returning home sends Sabrina spiraling. Watching her father die is overwhelming. Living under her mother’s reign is suffocating. And finding out her dead sister Coraline’s secret brings up 15 years of unresolved grief. This trip forcibly lifts Sabrina from her fog and drops her directly into chaos, past traumas, and the arms of her high school ex-boyfriend.
This summer Sabrina learns firsthand that no one is as perfect as they want you to think.
Summer Breakdown is a raw and moving love story—set in a charming New England beach town—about the complexities of family, marriage, humanity, and the dual beauty and heartache of raising children while also raising yourself.
