Synopsis from Goodreads:
Five old friends. Two new partners. One big problem…
In Erin’s beachfront home in Ireland, I blink at my former best friends and laugh. Is it awkward we haven’t seen each other in ten years and nobody really knows why? Yes. So I pull out the champagne with a flourish and start blasting our old playlist. It’s a reunion weekend, after all…
But it’s not long before my determination to have fun starts to fizzle. Perhaps inviting new partners was a mistake. I’m already exhausted by Becky’s new girlfriend, and Beth’s husband is trying too hard with the compliments. No, I’m not trying out a “cool silver highlights” look. It’s a grey hair.
Still, at least the others have partners. The most exciting romantic development I can report is a quick flirt with a handsome stranger on the plane over.
Even flighty, non-committal Tara is bringing someone. But if that wasn’t surprising enough, I could never have anticipated Tara’s ‘someone’ would be the man from my flight.
If things weren’t already awkward, they certainly are now…
The weekend was meant to finally bring us all back together. But will this reunion only push us further apart?
What do you think? What are you sharing today?
Love those colors! Happy reading!

ReplyDeleteSounds a bit awkward to me, so of course I'll be waiting for your review to find out how it goes.
ReplyDeleteI like that first line! :)
ReplyDeleteThe first line made me laugh. It does sound interesting. I hope you enjoy it. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThat looks good.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like it could be a lot of fun and I love that it's a beach book set in Ireland! As for the reunion that sounds absolutely dreadful but it's the kind of thing I enjoy reading about.
