A girls' week at the beach prompts hot tub drinking, awkward confessions, and a poignant reconsideration of friendship. A caregiver extracts a small repayment from her elderly patient for his long-forgotten role in the demise of her family. A young woman, new to New York City, finds herself in a complex but tacky love affair and reckons with the unfolding plot of her life. In the title story, a woman plots to conceive a second child while at a convention hotel with her husband and teenage daughter, both of whom have other plans. Smith's stories will beguile and delight readers while at the same time exploring the deep and often difficult ties of family, marriage, and romantic love in modern life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Blair\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/06\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781958888117\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224","brand":"Julia Ridley Smith","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43397771526325,"sku":"9781958888117","price":15.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_91300a15-a0ce-464f-9699-be4498ab7da0.jpg?v=1702394124","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/sex-romp-gone-wrong-9781958888117","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
