Bought this book for $.25 or $.50 at a garage sale June 2017. Finally got around to reading it a couple weeks ago (early March 2018). Had never heard of this author before. I enjoyed the book. It was an easy, quick, and entertaining read. Some of the critical reviews (on Amazon) thought it improbable that five women could form a close bond after spending a week together. However, they were together 24/7 in an "enclosed" environment (the spa) for a week--limited access to TV, etc. So, I don't think it's inconceivable that certain people "clicked" and wanted to stay in touch after the week ended. Of the five main characters, I found "Laurie" (widow of a famous tennis star) to be the least interesting/compelling.

The reason I'm giving it four stars instead of five is that I--like a few other (Amazon) reviewers--sometimes had a hard time remembering some of the secondary characters.
