Another great book from my favorite author!
Three women, each one burdened with a different problem, decide to spend the summer in Nantucket. Vicki recently discovered lung cancer, is mother to Blaine, four years old, and Porter, a seven month old baby. Brenda, Vicki's younger sister, an English Professor, newly fired from her teaching position for sleeping with one of her students. Additionally, charged with vandalizing an original Jackson Pollock. Melanie, Vicki's friend, her husband, Peter, left her for a younger woman. Moreover, she just found out she is pregnant but has not told Peter.Â
Brenda originally agreed to babysit Vicki's children while she deals with the awful side effects of chemotherapy. Unfortunately, soon she finds out that attempting to supervise little boys while writing a script becomes a difficult task, so she decides to hire a part-time babysitter.
At this point, I am starting to get frustrated with Melanie because she is available to help with Vicki's kids, but her excuse is, she is suffering from terrible morning sickness and yearning over Peter.Â
Therefore, Brenda hires Josh, a young college student whom she meets at the hospital where Vicki is receiving her chemotherapy treatment. As predicted, Josh and Vicki end up having a summer affair.Â
Finally, even though the ending is not surprising, it is an easy, quick, enjoyable book, and I am looking forward to reading more by this author.Â
