It was a very fast read but not as satifying as her Traveling Pants books. I guess since it was listed as an adult novel, I expected too much. I am not saying it was bad, it was a perfectly fine, beach book. Simple story, simple people, some character developement but not much after that. I was even more underwhelmed by the entire Fire Island location. In the past I have read books that make me feel I could go to the place and find the locations, shop in the stores, smell the coffee. There is nothing that would even make me interested in visiting.
