Sometimes, when you need a change in your life, the tide just happens to pull you in the right direction... Ellis, Julia, and Dorie. Best friends since Catholic grade school, they now find themselves, in their mid-thirties, at the crossroads of life and love. Ellis, recently fired from a job she gave everything to, is rudderless and now beginning to question the choices she's made over the past decade of her life. Julia--whose caustic wit covers up her wounds--has a man who loves her and is offering her the world, but she can't hide from how deeply insecure she feels about her looks, her brains, her life. And Dorie has just been shockingly betrayed by the man she loved and trusted the most in the world...though this is just the tip of the iceberg of her problems and secrets. A month in North Carolina's Outer Banks is just what they each of them needs. Ty Bazemore is their landlord, though he's hanging on to the rambling old beach house by a thin thread. After an inauspicious first meeting with Ellis, the two find themselves disturbingly attracted to one another, even as Ty is about to lose everything he's ever cared about. Maryn Shackleford is a stranger, and a woman on the run. Maryn needs just a few things in life: no questions, a good hiding place, and a new identity. Ellis, Julia, and Dorie can provide what Maryn wants; can they also provide what she needs? Mary Kay Andrews' novel is the story of five people questioning everything they ever thought they knew about life. Five people on a journey that will uncover their secrets and point them on the path to forgiveness. Five people who each need a sea change, and one month in a summer rental that might just give it to them. Summer Rental is one of Library Journal's Best Women's Fiction Books of 2011

Had my eyes dilated at the ophthalmologist today, so I downloaded this audiobook from the library. Pretty good so far. Would be a perfect beach read.....too bad that‘s not happening any time soon. ☹️

This started out promising and I was rather into it, but then the women's actions and thoughts and behaviors spiraled downward. It felt like these young, fresh women were caught in a time warp, with old-fashioned personalities. And I realllllly did not care for the end.

So delightful! Another case of "loving to read a book with beach chairs on the cover while sitting in a beach chair." I want meet up with these four women for a cocktail and karaoke. MKA makes vacation reads a true art.

It's the first day of Spring but it's still very cold up north. Reminiscing about our summer rental in Folly Beach SC last year. #marchintoreading #aseasoninthetitle #overdrive #library #spring
