SUMMER RENTAL

Three high school girlfriends rent a house on the beach for the summer. Each of the girls is bringing some extra baggage. Ellis, the responsible one, has just been fired from her job. She's been divorced for years and is way too careful about her life. Dorie's husband was supposed to come with her. When he doesn't show up, it's not long before the other girls realize all is not well in paradise. Julia is the lovely model but she's feeling that her career is over and she needs to decide what to do about her long time lover, Booker. Things get even more interesting when Dorie rents the 3rd floor to a woman on the run from her husband and the cute guy in the garage apartment starts noticing the girls.

I really like Mary Kay Andrews. As always, her characters are warm and believable. This was probably one of my least favorite of her books. I think it was a case of too many characters and story lines. Also, even though I loved the romance between Ellis and Ty, it seemed a little too neat and tidy as did the solution to Ty's money problems. Still, it was a fun read.

Rating - B+
