Destination Funeral by Paige Harbison digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

"Fun and sexy." ―People Magazine

"Paige Harbison is one of the funniest writers working today." ―Bustle

A fresh take on Groundhog Day with a dash of Practical Magic meets the magical escapism of One Italian Summer in this heartfelt and hilarious novel following a friend group so damaged that only a funeral could bring them back together.

When Babe—the complicated, magnetic matriarch of their teenage summers—dies, four estranged friends return to sleepy Mercy Island, a storm-swept stretch of coastal Georgia, summoned by the reading of her will.

Didion arrives at the timeworn pink house to find the friends she never thought she’d see again—along with the tensions, attractions, and unfinished business that once bound them together and broke them apart.

What should be a brief weekend of small talk quickly unravels when they wake up and discover...it’s Saturday. Again. And again. And again.

Trapped in a time loop with no end and no instructions, they’re forced to confront the betrayals, breakups, and buried truths that shattered them all those years ago. Because maybe, just maybe, an endless weekend is exactly what they all need to save their own lives.

Destination Funeral Reviews

4.0
“3.5 ish. I really like this author’s writing style. I liked the ground hog day / magical realism theme. The characters did annoy me a bit, but I get they were supposed to be kinda unlikable since they did have growth throughout the book. I liked this book, I just didn’t love it.”
