“New York Times Bestselling Author”

In her latest novel, acclaimed author Therese Anne Fowler takes readers on a captivating journey into the lives of the Geller sisters. With her sharp wit and insightful storytelling, Fowler delves into the complexities of family dynamics, unraveling the tangled web of secrets and desires that bind them together.

From the pragmatic mother, Marti, who is nearing the end of her life, to the three strong-minded sisters, Beck, Claire, and Sophie, each character is brought to life with depth and authenticity.

Beck, the eldest sister, finds herself questioning her stagnant marriage and suspecting her husband, Paul, of hiding something. As a freelance journalist, she has always been drawn to uncovering the truth, but now she must confront the truth within her relationship. Meanwhile, middle sister Claire, a successful pediatric cardiologist, grapples with her heartache as she pines for a man who will never reciprocate her feelings. And Sophie, the youngest sister, may appear to have a glamorous life on social media, but behind the facade lies a fragile existence built on financial instability.

When Marti’s will reveals that the family’s cherished summer cottage in Maine must be sold and the proceeds divided equally among the sisters, their lives take an unexpected turn. Enter C.J. Reynolds, a buyer with a complicated past and a history intertwined with one of the sisters. As choices are made and consequences unfold, the Geller sisters must confront the realities of their lives and the secrets they have kept hidden. Fowler’s masterful storytelling explores themes of love, loss, and the complexities of human relationships, leaving readers captivated until the very last page.

“It All Comes Down to This answered a need I didn’t even know I had―to read a big-hearted novel about middle-aged women reckoning with their heavy secrets, and each other. This novel is entertaining, in the best sense of the word, and a true page-turner.” ―Ann Napolitano, New York Times bestselling author of Hello Beautiful

“Fowler writes like a contemporary Edith Wharton, peeling back layers of class and custom to reveal the mysteries of love, longing, and fate. It All Comes Down to This is a stunning tale of people struggling to wring the most from their lives while facing the uncertainty of what their lives should be.” ―Wiley Cash, New York Times bestselling author of When Ghosts Come Home

“A compulsively readable, thoroughly enjoyable tale of three sisters, their histories, their problems, and their unraveling secrets. Contemporary, but with a delightfully Austenish tone, I read it in a single gulp.” ―Karen Joy Fowler, New York Times bestselling author of We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves

“Fowler sure is fond of setting off big surprise bombs in her novels―revelations that would have most families looking for a rug to sweep everything under. But you haven’t met the Geller sisters. Three women whose chosen way to deal with sibling betrayals, sub-optimal husbands, artistic and financial failure, perverse directives from their mother’s will, and last-gasp chances for love is to plow right through the middle, the hard way. What it comes down to is this: Fowler’s insight into the way we re-open ourselves for love, time and again, speaks stirringly to the heart.“ ―Wilton Barnhardt, New York Times bestselling author of Lookaway, Lookaway

“Sparkling…All you could want in a beach read: three sisters with secrets; a summer house in Maine to be sold off (or not); a sexy stranger from out of town who’s looking to buy; and no problem that can’t be satisfyingly resolved before the story ends.” ―Library Journal (starred review)

“Can you say perfect porch read?” ―CNN.com

“Fowler has done it again.” ―GMA.com

“A tightly coiled family saga…Fowler expertly peels back the layers of each character in this page-turner, making for a highly entertaining summer read.” ―Booklist

“Austenesque…this goes down as easily as an Aperol spritz.” ―Publishers Weekly

“A smart and lively novel, one that had me turning its pages faster and faster, wondering if this indelible family could untangle the deep lies that reveal an even deeper truth.” ―Jess Walter, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Beautiful Ruins
