You Are a Mountain, David

Janine Fitch's husband just asked for a six-month marriage sabbatical — not a divorce, not a separation, but a sabbatical — so he can hike the Pacific Crest Trail and find himself. The catch? Neither of them can actually leave, thanks to a shared mortgage, a boomerang daughter livestreaming sourdough, and an incontinent beagle who requires medication four times daily. What follows is a hilariously chaotic experiment in dating other people out of the same driveway, passive-aggressive fridge whiteboards, and the terrifying possibility that starting over might mean starting together.
