Not a Vacation

In this warm and witty novel from the author of You’ll Find It All Still Here, a young woman makes a match where she least expects it—in Florida’s kooky retirement community.

Phoebe Kleiner names nail polish for a living: Chunky Cardigan, Heartbreak Healer, Win-Win. Too bad her marketing prowess doesn’t extend to her love life. At twenty-nine, freshly dumped and watching her friends march down the aisle, she’s stuck wearing a shade between heartbreak and humiliation.

After her great aunt dies, Phoebe gets dragged to Boca Raton to help clean out her old apartment. It’s supposed to be a quick trip—a little sun, a little schlep, maybe a rebound fling on the apps. Instead, she walks right into her mother’s identity crisis, her aunt’s crumbling marriage, and a dating scene full of retirees and red flags.

Then she meets Levi, the blue-eyed geriatrician and popular DJ who throws raves for Boca’s seniors. He makes Phoebe feel instantly understood. But as the Florida heat beats down and her family pushes her boundaries, Phoebe must think fast or risk everything. Because this fling feels like the start of something real.

You’ll Find It All Still Here

An emotional trip down memory lane, author Lisa Greenwald’s playful second-chance romance is perfect for anyone who grew up reading her middle-grade books or spent fervent summers away at camp.

Successful event planner Mira Erdman never expected to see Brush Hill Camp again. But these days, the old sleepaway camp in the Berkshires offers “adult” experiences for New York’s twentysomething Jewish singles. And Mira’s bubbie knows it’s the perfect place for her granddaughter to find love.

Since losing her mom, Mira has basically given up on dating. But for Bubbie’s sake―and with best friend Josie at her side―she’s resigned to giving grown-up camp a try. The beer garden and coed cabins are wild, though not enough to stop the flood of old memories. And when her onetime camp crush turns up, Mira’s teenage anxieties threaten to resurface…along with a rush of other feelings.

Rooted in nostalgia, You’ll Find It All Still Here weaves together themes of friendship, community, and family. Mira’s soulmate may be out there, but she’ll have to learn to love and accept herself first, with the help of those she holds dearest.
