But on her first day with Nathan, Rose’s beloved Newfoundland attacks and kills a corgi at the park and Nathan starts acting strangely: barking, overeating, talking to himself.

With only a week left before his parents return, Rose races to ban­ish the corgi from her nephew.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAn off-kilter comedy about loneliness, bad boundaries, and the exacting nature of unconditional love, \u003ci\u003eThe Hitch \u003c\/i\u003eis a big-hearted novel that exposes the fault lines of our pieties and asks how far a person should stretch to fit into their own family.","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster Audio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":50524414050608,"sku":"BDqd7a","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/qd7a-cover.jpg?v=1768575122","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-qd7a","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
