Date night goes off the rails when one unhappy couple find themselves taken hostage by a climate activist group Jane and Dan have been married for nineteen years, but Jane isn''t sure they''re going to make it to twenty. The mother of two feels unneeded by her teenagers, and her writing career has screeched to an unsuccessful halt. Her one published novel sold under five hundred copies. Worse? She''s pretty sure Dan is cheating on her. When the couple goes to the renowned upscale restaurant La Fin du Monde to celebrate their anniversary, Jane thinks it''s as good a place as any to tell Dan she wants a divorce. But before they even get to the second course, an underground climate activist group bursts into the dining room. Jane is shocked-and not just because she''s in a hostage situation the likes of which she''s only seen in the movies. Nearly everything the disorganized and bumbling activists say and do is right out of the pages of her failed book. Even Dan (who Jane wasn''t sure even read her book) admits it''s eerily familiar. Which means Dan and Jane are the only ones who know what''s going to happen next. And they''re the only ones who can stop it. This wasn''t what Jane was thinking of when she said ''til death do us part'' all those years ago, but if they can survive this, maybe they can survive anything-even marriage.

I fell in love with Oakley''s sparkling prose, charming characters, and quaint island setting'' EMILY HENRY
