"Austenesque...this goes down as easily as an Aperol spritz." —Publishers Weekly

Meet the Geller sisters: Beck, Claire, and Sophie, a trio of strong-minded women whose pragmatic mother, Marti, will be dying soon.

Beck, a freelance journalist, suspects her husband is hiding something. Claire, an accomplished pediatric cardiologist, nurses an unrequited love that's slowly destroying her. And Sophie's Instagram-perfect life is really a cash-strapped house of cards on the verge of collapse.

Marti's will surprises them with its provision that the family's summer cottage in Maine must be sold, the proceeds split equally between the sisters. While there's a ready buyer in C.J. Reynolds, he's an ex-con with a complicated past and a tangled history with one of the women.

In It All Comes Down to This, acclaimed author Therese Anne Fowler delivers a stylish, insightful take on the dysfunctional family dramedy. As the Geller sisters navigate choices and consequences, mistakes and misapprehensions, obligations and desires, they must come to terms with the ways their lives have turned out differently than expected — and the secrets they've been keeping from each other and themselves.
