Beach Week, by Susan Coll

Very well done take on how a rite of passage can mean so much for an entire family. The stress of having to decide whether their only child, daughter Jordan, will accompany her friends to a rental house on the Virginia shore, in the local tradition of letting the kids celebrate high school graduation with a week of debauchery nearly tears her parents apart. Interestingly, this book focused almost exclusively on the parents, which made it much more layered than if it had focused on the cipher-like Jordan. Funny, satirical, and serious in turns, this was a pretty great and enjoyable read.
