From the NYT bestselling author of WE ALL WANT IMPOSSIBLE THINGS and SANDWICH. Accidents happen - so what happens when they do? 'The kind of book that pulls up a chair, pours the wine, and dives deep-equal parts hilarious, sharp, and achingly sincere. It's like spending hours with the friend who sees your mess and loves you more for it. I didn't just read it-I felt known by it.' Alison Espach, New York Times bestselling author of The Wedding People'A delight... Newman's prose is laugh-out-loud funny. It's also profound. I didn't want it to end.' J. Courtney Sullivan, New York Times bestselling author of The Cliffs_______Rocky, Nick, Willa and Jamie. A normal loving, anxious, messy, unpredictable, 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 what happens when 'this could happen to us' turns into 'it really might be me'?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. She is still living her best life as the irreverent, funny, unpredictably beating heart of her family. Her father is still his unique, outspoken adorable self; Willa is still prone to bouts of existential angst whilst berating the fact that her mother has zero filter; Nick is still 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 learn to live with life's 'what ifs?'_______PRAISE FOR SANDWICH & WE ALL WANT IMPOSSIBLE THINGS:'Breezy New York Nora-Ephron-style wit meets hospice memoir to create something profoundly beautiful...comforting, so funny, moving but never mawkish and packed with all kinds of love. It's one of my favourite books ever' bestselling author, MARIAN KEYES'One of the funniest books I've ever read' FEARNE COTTON, STYLIST'I adored this book. Jubilant, devastating, tender, heartbreaking, I found myself both in tears and 'snorty-laughing'. A masterclass on friendship, family love, memory, and the messiness of life and love and dying. Pure genius' RACHEL JOYCE, author of the bestseller The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry'Tragically funny, with moments of clarity and wisdom, Newman writes loss and laughter in equally brilliant amounts' BONNIE GARMUS, bestselling author of Lessons in Chemistry'Newman is truly a master of taking complex and chaotic human emotion and making sense of it ... wise and exquisitely written' GUARDIAN'Sandwich is joy in book form. I laughed continuously, except for the parts that made me cry. Catherine Newman does a miraculous job reminding us of all the wonder there is to be found in life.' ANN PATCHETT, New York Times bestselling author of Tom Lake
