Surprising ending to what started out as the usual "four friends reunite after many years" book. Recommended. ( ) This is definitely a beach read in every way except for the fact that it is over 400 pages long. It is the story of 4 women who were college roommates more than 20 years ago and reunite to spend a week together in one woman's beach home. Everyone of them has had their trial and tribulations in the intervening years--of course--but despite the fact that they are supposedly still close enough that they want to spend a week together, they are not in the least forthcoming in sharing these things with each other. There are too many references to current popular things (music in particular) which begins to make it feel like the writer is working to hard to prove a point. The problem with this is that some of the things she uses to try to set the story in the early 1980's are just not accurate. Just me--I know--I was in college in the late 1970's/early 1980's. There are some surprises toward the end; I'm just not sure that you'll care enough about the ladies to care about the surprises.
