Reviews
"Beck Dorey-Stein's buoyant first novel is about finding out who you are and what matters most when everything tips sideways. It's about rediscovering what love costs and finding your way back to the people who truly mean home. Funny and effervescent, hope- and heart-filled, Rock the Boat is a breath of delicious and utterly fresh air." --Paula McLain, author of The Paris Wife and When the Stars Go Dark "Brimming with wit and warmth, and peopled with a terrifically vibrant cast of characters, Rock the Boat is a delightful, whip-smart page-turner with an expansive heart." --Claire Lombardo, author of The Most Fun We Ever Had "What a cocktail of a book, topped with frothy, delicious wit. Beck Dorey-Stein nails the pathos and comedy of that slippery, sideways path to (sigh) adulthood. We can be awful to the people we feel safest with--those who love us and who have known us the longest--and Dorey-Stein captures that truth beautifully. I'm wildly grateful to have discovered a novelist who delivers this amount of sheer pleasure on a page." --Judy Blundell, author of The High Season " Rock the Boat is the warm, wonderful escape I've been wishing for. A novel with gorgeous sentences and complex, kind characters set in a Garden State beach town--what more could you want? Mix yourself a Paloma and sink in. . . . Dorey-Stein's debut novel is sheer delight." --Amanda Eyre Ward, author of The Jetsetters " Rock the Boat is a funny and bighearted novel about friendship, love, and going home again. Dorey-Stein's unique characters are hilarious and heartbroken--which is to say they are fantastic company and I enjoyed every single page." --Jennifer Close, author of The Hopefuls, "The perfect summer beach read for anyone who craves a smart story with a happy ending." -- Oprah Daily "It'll hit you right in the feelings. Beck, will you please write a sequel?" -- HelloGiggles "A sizzling summer read . . . Whip-smart and perfectly capturing that delicate balance between your younger and adult selves, Dorey-Stein's book will have you-- gasp! --craving a reunion with your high school pals." -- E! Online "Following up on the success to her Obama White House memoir From the Corner of the Oval , Beck Dorey-Stein is turning to fiction with her debut novel, filled with similar coming-of-age themes and circumstances. Protagonist Kate Campbell returns to her New England hometown for the summer, finding she needs to reevaluate a few things in her life before she is ready to move back to Manhattan. Of course, that's if she moves back, after diving deep into some of the relationships and secrets that consume her seaside community." -- Fortune "In Rock the Boat , Beck Dorey-Stein has given us the perfect summer read--sharp, irreverent, and compulsively readable--about how the best stuff in life is always what you didn't plan." --Lauren Weisberger, New York Times bestselling author of The Devil Wears Prada a nd Where the Grass Is Green and the Girls Are Pretty "Beck Dorey-Stein's buoyant first novel is about finding out who you are and what matters most when everything tips sideways.

Synopsis
"[A] witty, heartfelt debut novel about a belated coming-of-age."-- The New York Times Book Review (Editors' Choice) Old friends discover how much has changed (and how much has stayed the same) when they reunite in their seaside hometown for one unforgettable summer--from the New York Times bestselling author of From the Corner of the Oval When Kate Campbell's life in Manhattan suddenly implodes, she is forced to return to Sea Point, the small town full of quirky locals, quaint bungalows, and beautiful beaches where she grew up. She knows she won't be home for long; she's got every intention (and a three-point plan) to win back everything she thinks she's lost. Meanwhile, Miles Hoffman--aka "The Prince of Sea Point"--has also returned home to prove to his mother that he's capable of taking over the family business, and he's promised to help his childhood best friend, Ziggy Miller, with his own financial struggles at the same time. Kate, Miles, and Ziggy converge in Sea Point as the town faces an identity crisis when a local developer tries to cash in on its potential. The summer swells, and white lies and long-buried secrets prove as corrosive as the salt air, threatening to forever erode not only the bonds between the three friends but also the landscape of the beachside community they call home. Full of heart and humor--and laced with biting wit-- Rock the Boat proves that even when you know all the back roads, there aren't any shortcuts to growing up.

    The seller sent it promptly. Packaging was fine. Only issue was with the CD. When contacted the seller about the issue they were fair and just. and all honestly, I don’t think there is an issue with the seller, but the product by the manufacturer. I don’t blame the seller.
