The quitters club : a novel / Jessica Strawser.
When four ride-or-die friends reunite for a getaway, they're desperate for a break, a chance to reconnect. But each is hiding a deeper reason why. Marie feels like an impostor teaching "How to Say No" seminars while her marriage has evolved into something she never said yes to. Brooke's most heartfelt goal--motherhood--is proving out of reach. Lucy's dream career has broken her spirit, possibly for good. And Collins feels trapped in grief by her late husband's legacy. All their lives, they've encouraged each other not to give up--but they can't do this anymore. Now, at a breaking point, they make a pact: Quit. And help each other through the fallout. At first, it's positively liberating. A husband gets a much-needed wake-up call. A singles retreat is a widow's perfect escape. A very public career exit becomes a never-too-late return to college. And a childless life becomes a bold new plan to travel the world. But letting go will be more complicated than they imagined. Confronting hard truths about love, loss, and starting over, these four women must discover what's worth fighting for--and what's truly best left behind.
