| Enjoyable if slightly old-fashioned murder mystery whose central premise—that people staying at timeshares actually interact and, like, become friends with each other—was the most difficult fiction to swallow. | |

“We speak of searching for happiness, of finding contentment, as if these were locations on an atlas, actual places that we could visit if only we had the proper map and the right navigational skills.”

3. Get to know my neighbors.
4. Do fun stuff.
5. Explore nature.
6. Volunteer.
7. Eat local.
8. Become more political.
9. Create something new.
10. Stay loyal through hard times.”
